Casa d'Ambra: wines from Ischia between identity, tradition, and character
The Casa d'Ambra collection gathers wines that tell the story of Ischia through a family history spanning over a century and a production vision rooted in the territory. From whites made from indigenous grapes to more characteristic reds, this selection enhances labels that express the island's personality, its volcanic soil, and the careful work in the vineyard and cellar.
The name Casa d'Ambra is linked to a tradition that began with Francesco D’Ambra, known as Don Ciccio, and has continued over time with an increasing focus on vineyard selection and the protection of local varieties. Today, the winery represents a reference point for those seeking Campanian wines with strong character, with labels that combine history, winemaking precision, and territorial recognizability.
The profile of the wines in the collection
The selection mainly includes white and red wines from Ischia, featuring indigenous grape varieties such as Biancolella, Forastera, and Per' 'e palummo. These are grapes that narrate the biodiversity of the island and give rise to wines with a clear, elegant, and territorial profile. The whites stand out for their freshness, aromatic immediacy, and finesse, while the reds show a deeper structure and a pronounced Mediterranean identity.
Among the featured labels are Vigna dei mille anni 2020, ISCHIA PER' 'E PALUMMO DOC Casa d'Ambra, Biancolella Tenuta Frassitelli Ischia Bianco DOC 2023, Casa d'Ambra MAGNUM Wooden Box, Biancolella 2024 Tenuta Frassitelli Ischia Bianco DOC, Biancolella Frassitelli Pietra Martone 2015, and Ischia Rosso Doc 2022 Riserva Mario d'Ambra Casa d'Ambra.
