Pithecusa White 2022 IGT Tommasone

Pithecusa Bianco 2022 IGT Tommasone, elegant white from Ischia

Pithecusa Bianco 2022 IGT Tommasone is a Campanian white wine that tells the identity of the island of Ischia through the meeting of Biancolella and Fiano, two grape varieties capable of expressing freshness, personality, and aromatic finesse. Crafted by Tommasone Vini, it is made from grapes hand-picked in the vineyards of Lacco Ameno and stands out for its refined, gastronomic, and pleasantly versatile style.

Territory and wine style

This IGT takes shape in the “Coste” area, in the northwest of the island, where small terraced vineyards overlook the Gulf of Naples. The connection to the territory is strong and immediate: the name recalls the ancient appellation of Ischia and enhances a deeply rooted viticultural heritage. The result is a white wine with a Mediterranean profile, elegant and measured, designed to combine drinkability and aromatic complexity.

Tasting notes

The bouquet is fragrant and multifaceted, with notes of acacia flowers, ripe yellow fruit, hints of mango and peach, nuances of small pastries, and a touch of wild sage. On the palate, it is harmonious, spicy, and well-structured, with a pleasant taste tension that supports the finish. The closure is long, delicate, and slightly almondy, in perfect balance between softness and freshness.
