Lower ABV The grape is Biancolella, the vineyards are on the island of Ischia, and the wine is smokin' good. Writing about the 93 point 2019 edition, Wine Advocate said, "Oh, do I love this wine! The volcanic island of Ischia has hot springs that bubble up on the sandy beaches of the island, making for little jacuzzi-like pools with hot water as you swim in the cold seawater. Those volcanic implications deeply shape a wine like this, rendering a sense of sharpness and precision that comes thanks to these special growing conditions. Citrus and white peach notes dive into sea salt and ashy mineral."
All that applies in the 2020, with the addition of a touch more richness to the orchard and tropical fruits. As the Advocate says, "There is no better wine in the world for an epic plate of spaghetti alle vongole (clams)."
"Sweetly scented and delicately perfumed, the 2020 Biancolella Tenuta Frassitelli opens in the glass to reveal baked apples and pears complemented by white flowers, a dusting of sweet spice, lemon zests and hints of vanilla bean. It’s rich and weighty upon entry, yet it is quickly lifted by cooling herbal tones, as orchard fruits wash across the palate, leaving a mineral tinge behind. This resonates on pretty inner florals and a flourish of green citrus, tapering off lightly structured and classically dry. I followed the 2020 Biancolella Tenuta Frassitelli for three days, watching it slowly evolve. Remarkably, the last glass was certainly the best. Bury this in your cellar to watch it fully come to life over time. Drink 2023-2030"
