Biancolella

Grape variety most likely of Greek origin, it was brought by the inhabitants of the island of Euboea to Corsica, where it is now cultivated with the name of Petite Blanche, and from there it reached the Italian peninsula. Widespread especially in Campania, especially in the islands of Ischia, Capri and Procida, it also enters the Amalfi Coast and the Lazio island of Ponza. It prefers warm and windy climates and mineral soils of mineral origin: this is why we find it in the maximum form inside the DOC Ischia Biancolella, in which it is able to fully develop its aromatic range. The result is savory, mineral and territorial wines. It also offers good results within the DOC Capri, Costa d'Amalfi, Penisola Sorrentino and Campi Flegrei.
