Ischia Forastera DOC 2023 Casa D'Ambra

Forastera Ischia DOC 2023: A Work of Art by Casa D'Ambra

The Forastera Ischia DOC 2023 by Casa D'Ambra is the fruit of heroic viticulture, where the Forastera grapes are grown on volcanic soils at an altitude between 400 and 500 meters above sea level. The manual harvest takes place with a yield of 70 quintals per hectare between the second and third ten days of September. The winemaking process includes alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature, followed by a short refinement in stainless steel and in the bottle. This wine represents the essence of the winemaking tradition of Ischia, enhanced by the artisanal skill of the Casa D'Ambra winery.

Organoleptic Characteristics

At sight, Forastera presents itself with a pale straw yellow color and golden reflections, a prelude to an intriguing and complex olfactory experience. On the nose, aromas of apricot and yellow peach emerge, intertwined with light hints of spring flowers and notes of Mediterranean scrub. The taste is fresh and mineral, with a dominant fruity taste that evolves into an almond finish, giving a pleasant persistence on the palate. The gracefulness and flavor of this wine make it particularly enjoyable and suitable for multiple gastronomic combinations.

Gastronomic Pairings

The Forastera Ischia DOC 2023 is an extremely versatile wine, ideal for accompanying vegetarian dishes and seafood recipes. It goes beautifully with fish starters, such as scallops au gratin, and fresh cheeses, such as buffalo mozzarella. It is also excellent with more elaborate dishes such as grilled sea bream with seasonal vegetables or pepegna fritters. Its freshness and flavor make it perfect to be served during an aperitif, accompanying fried vegetables or stuffed tomatoes.
