History
Casa D'Ambra is the historic house of Ischia, making wine on the volcanic island since 1888 when Francesco 'Don Ciccio' D'Ambra began carrying the island's wines to Naples and beyond. Over four generations, and under enologist Andrea D'Ambra today, it has become the reference producer of Ischia's whites, above all the Biancolella from the vertiginous Frassitelli terraces.
