Tenuta dei Preti
Ischia Biancolella Doc (Cru)
100% Biancolella, the bouquet is intense, wide and fruity with notes recalling the sweetness of pear pulp and ripe apricot, combined with a background of almond flowers and delicate floral sensations perfectly integrated with the current of balsamic aromas of the oak in which it is aged. On the palate it is dense and rich, persistent and well balanced, very harmonic and full bodied in its minerality.
It is excellent with first dishes based on seafood, fried fish and white meat. Excellent also in combination with dishes based on mushrooms.
