Vigna del Lume Biancolella 2022

What an astonishing wine!
A fresh, enticing nose - white flowers, underripe peach, a bit of green mirabelle plums and, in the backdrop, amazing limestone minerality, crushed seashells, saline notes. Amazing purity here. Very Chablis’esque.
Beautiful mouthfeel with great depth & precision. Juicy, fresh, with white peach and lemony acidity. Incredible length and presence - this just goes on forever - salty, juicy, fresh & pure.
This the very first serious white from central Italy I’ve ever had. Wow!

Pale gold, dry, mineral. Hints of citrus and white peach. Family owned, managed with time honored tradition. Another Oliver McCrumb selection that is perfect with any seafood pairing or just chilling with a special person on the front porch. — 4 years ago

Gorgeous bottle, perfect for a romantic NYC picnic amongst cherry blossoms! Light, floral, easy to drink a lot of. I’m writing this review after drinking from what I remember (it made an impression) - will be buying again and leaving more detailed tasting notes. — 5 months ago

Bianco Ischia 2018

A nice crisp white wine that really might be one of the better examples of true minerality that I’ve seen. The sensation of wet stone really comes through - would give this bottle to someone who wants to understand what people mean when they say that. Precise and enjoyable with a long finish. — 4 years ago

Kalimera Ischia Biancolella 2021

Very intense white, with concentrated flavors and acidity. Mediterranean salt, minerals, citrus peel. From a tiny island off the coast of Napoli. Great stuff, but definitely a food wine (13% abv). With tonight’s dinner of Italian eggplant shakshouka and sweet potatoes in sesame tahini butter. Blue Raspberry Sour Patch Kids for dessert.

Update: had my last bottle with roasted butternut squash in couscous salad, and it was a little too harsh, even with food. Bumping my rating down a bit.
