Ischia
Wine · PDO · 6 municipalities
Recognised since 1973, the Ischia DOC is defined by its strict island boundaries, requiring that all vinification, aging, and sparkling wine production take place entirely on the volcanic island of Ischia rather than the Campania mainland. The denomination's classic base white wine, which must achieve a minimum alcohol content of 10.5% vol, is anchored by a specific regional blend requiring a minimum of 45% Forastera and 30% Biancolella grapes. Spanning six island municipalities, including Barano d'Ischia, this regulatory insularity ensures that every stage of production remains geographically isolated, preserving the distinct profile of these historic maritime vineyards.
