The Forastera Bianco DOC by Antonio Mazzella represents an extraordinary example of the winemaking heritage of the Island of Ischia. This wine is produced exclusively with Forastera grapes, a native variety of the region that imparts a fresh and distinct identity to the wine.

With a straw yellow color with greenish reflections, Antonio Mazzella’s Forastera Bianco opens with an intense aromatic bouquet, characterized by notes of white fruits, such as pear and apple, with a slight hint of aromatic herbs and white flowers. On the palate, it stands out for its liveliness and minerality, well balanced by a soft acidity that makes each sip pleasantly harmonious.

Ideal as an aperitif, it pairs wonderfully with fish dishes, seafood, and light vegetable-based preparations. Its elegance and freshness also make it perfect when paired with Mediterranean cuisine, enhancing the flavors without overpowering them.

Sipping this wine is like taking a sensory journey through the Island of Ischia, discovering the unique nuances imparted by the volcanic terroir and the passion of the producer Antonio Mazzella, who carries forward the local winemaking tradition with dedication.

Winery history
A small family-run estate rooted in Campagnano. Production has developed over several generations: the business is attributed to the Mazzella family beginning with Nicola, with later transformations and expansions carried out by Antonio and his children. Today the estate is known for labels such as Vigna del Lume and for the cultivation of the island’s characteristic terraced vineyards.
Production philosophy
An approach that highlights local grape varieties and vineyard work: hand harvesting, terraced vineyard management, and winemaking designed to express the specific character of the island of Ischia rather than relying on invasive oenological interventions.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards located on the south-facing slopes of the island of Ischia, cultivated on terraced sites with sea exposure and on volcanic/lapilli soils; the plots are often in rugged, hard-to-reach areas accessible by footpaths, at elevations of around 100–200 meters above sea level depending on the individual vineyard.
Awards and recognitions
Recognitions and mentions in industry guides and selections: examples found online include the "Sole" recognition from the Guida Oro I Vini di Veronelli and citations/mentions in bibende, Vinitaly/5 Star Wines and other professional selections.
