Ischia owes its extraordinary beauty to the diversity of its volcanic terrain, shaped over millennia. This unique soil has supported vine cultivation since the time of Magna Graecia, when the Euboeans settled on the island in the 8th century BC, introducing winemaking techniques and traditions that still define Ischia’s wines today.

Perched along the coast and accessible via ancient footpaths, the vineyards require meticulous, hands-on care. From handpicking the grapes to traditional pressing methods, every step of the winemaking process reflects a deep-rooted heritage.

Native grape varieties such as Biancolella, Forastera, Guarnaccia, and Piedirosso—all recognized as DOC since 1966—produce exceptional wines that are celebrated worldwide. A tour of Ischia’s wineries is more than just a tasting experience; it’s a journey through history, culture, and the enduring passion that binds this land to its winemaking legacy.
