Il Forastera Ischia DOC di Casa D'Ambra è un vino bianco che proviene dalle colline rigogliose dell'isola di Ischia, nel cuore del Mar Tirreno. Questo vino esprime appieno il carattere unico del vitigno Forastera, una varietà autoctona dell'isola, coltivata su terreni di origine vulcanica che conferiscono complessi aromi minerali.

Al primo sguardo, il Forastera si presenta con un colore giallo paglierino luminoso, che già anticipa la freschezza del suo profilo organolettico. Al naso emergono fragranze delicate di fiori bianchi, agrumi e note erbacee che ricordano il rosmarino e la salvia. Questi sentori sono affiancati da un suadente profumo di frutta a polpa bianca, come la pera e la mela verde, che aggiunge complessità e armonia.

All'assaggio, il Forastera manifesta una vivace acidità, ben bilanciata da una morbidezza che avvolge il palato, rendendolo fresco e piacevolmente beverino. La persistenza gustativa è buona, con una retrogusto che richiama nuovamente le note minerali e agrumate, tipiche dei vini prodotti su suoli vulcanici.

Ideale per accompagnare piatti di pesce, frutti di mare e primi delicati a base di verdure, questo vino rappresenta una perfetta espressione del terroir ischitano, capace di portare un sorso di Mediterraneo direttamente nel bicchiere. Perfetto da gustare giovane, può anche sorprendere piacevolmente se lasciato invecchiare per qualche mese in bottiglia.

Founded by the D'Ambra family in the 19th century, the company grew from an initial bulk wine trade into a winery recognized for the wines of Ischia.
