Biancolella is a white wine from Italy . It is mainly grown in Campania and Ischia , where the white wines made from it are among the best. It is used in the DOC wines Campi Flegrei , Capri , Costa d'Amalfi , Ischia and Penisola Sorrentina . It usually gives the white wines of Ischia their special character when blended with Forastera . In the 1990s, 609 hectares of vineyards were raised in Italy . On Corsica (→ Corsica wine ), the cultivation was abandoned, although near Bastia and San Martino di Lota quite appealing white wines were produced.
Another variant of Biancolella is known in Italy. The variety is called Biancolella selvatica and is distinguished by a deeper leaf and lower must weights .
