Capri Bianco 2022, Scala Fenicia
A white of rare elegance and production rarity. The olfactory profile is an ode to the Mediterranean scrub and saltiness, while on the palate it shines with an almost electric sapidity. A wine that does not seek structure, but verticality and the authentic story of a vineyard unique in the world.
Capri Bianco 2022, Scala Fenicia
The Capri Bianco 2022 from Scala Fenicia is a 'heroic' wine, born from one of the very few wineries still operating on the island of Capri. Made from grapes grown on ancient terraces along the Scala Fenicia, connecting the port to Anacapri, this white wine is a liquid snapshot of the island's terroir. The 2022 vintage offers a perfect balance between fruit ripeness and saline tension. On the nose, it is like a sea breeze: notes of lemon zest, orange blossom, and broom stand out, blending with hints of Mediterranean aromatic herbs such as thyme and marjoram, finishing distinctly mineral and briny. On the palate, it is lively, vertical, and incredibly savory; the entry is fresh, almost sharp, yet it unfolds over a trail of citrus and flint that continually invites another sip.
