Wine, tradition, nature. The ancient bond between Ischia and its wine-growing vocation can be seen in the terraced landscapes and wise gestures of heroic agriculture that are repeated, like a sacred ritual, in the vineyards and cellars where products with an ancient flavour are born. These products are appreciated in Italy and throughout the world.
Ischia celebrates the lifeblood flowing through its veins with ‘Andar per Cantine’, the event that for more than a decade has been telling Ischia’s rural history to food travellers in an engaging and exciting format.
In the heart of September, a mosaic of smiles, flavours and traditions is offered to wine and food explorers during the event highlighting the most striking aspects of the island’s wine vocation.
The exploration of ancient vineyards guarded by the green island takes travellers through the lands of Ischia to discover Bacchus’ temples, a maze of geological wonders that unfolds between green tufa and Mediterranean maquis.
Biancolella, Forastera, Uva Rilla, San Lunardo, Piedirosso, Cannamelu: these are the wines enriching the treasure chest of flavours in Ischia’s wine cellars and are the true protagonists of the event, characterised by the slow typicality of the Ischitan land. A riot of taste and experience that conveys of the authenticity of the island.
