What kind of wine is Campania Bianco IGT 'Dall’Isola' 2024 - Joaquin?

The Campania Bianco IGT 'Dall’Isola' 2024 - Joaquin originates from the vineyards of the island of Capri, a unique territory where marine currents and salty winds impart a fresh and luminous character to the grapes. It is made from a skillful blend of Greco, Falanghina, and Biancolella, typical Campanian grape varieties, harvested and left to dry for about a month before winemaking. This white wine by Joaquin is a wine of the sea and light: it authentically expresses the nuances of the Mediterranean environment, with a fresh, mineral, and savory personality, elegant yet accessible even to less experienced palates.

Vintage Details

The 2024 vintage in Campania was characterized by a mild spring and a balanced summer, with some useful rain to maintain the right soil moisture. The grapes were thus able to ripen slowly, preserving good acidity and aromatic intensity. The result is a harmonious and well-balanced wine, where the fruity component is combined with the typical freshness of vineyards overlooking the sea.

Winemaking and Aging

After about a month of drying, the grapes are destemmed and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, a choice that preserves the purity of the aromas and the fragrance of the fruit. Aging continues for several months on the fine lees (natural yeast residues that enrich the wine with body and complexity) before bottling. No wood aging: thus the taste profile remains fresh, mineral, and direct.
