This extremely rare wine grown on the Italian island of Ischia is virtually IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ANYWHERE IN THE US BESIDES THIS SITE! Briny, musky, and mineral aromas of salty ocean air lead to an entirely unique, dazzling wine that fills the mouth with invigorating citrus fruit, chalk, and palate-whetting salinity. This wine perfectly exemplifies the concept of "terroir" - a true expression of place.
