Cenatiempo d'Ischia
|
|
A family run business since 1945, rich in history as symbolized by a wine cellar dating back to the 1600's, carved into the hillside of Kalimera on the Island of Ischia, just off of Naples. Passionate winemakers who intervene as little as possible on the must, relying on controlled temperatures for fermentation and mechanical filtration.
