Cenatiempo Bianco Superiore
Cenatiempo Bianco Superiore is an absurdly good wine for the price. The blend is roughly 40% Biancolella, 45% Forastera, 15% other local varieties such as Collionara and Biancolellone (these are all old mixed plantings).
The wine is pale yellow, green glints. Aromas of herbs, wet stones, with hints of apple and white peach. On the palate it’s bright and fresh, with great fruit, acidity and balance.

The region of Campania makes some of the best white wines in Italy, and Pasquale Cenatiempo’s wines from the island of Ischia are yet another demonstration of this.
Ischia is a volcanic island, and the whites do show the characteristic ‘struck flint’ character of volcanic terroirs. Cenatiempo’s production is about half from his own grapes, which are biodynamically farmed, the rest coming from other growers around the island.
