Biancolella
Biancolella is a white grape associated with the coast and islands of Campania. Its nursery account describes early budbreak and medium-late ripening.
Bunch and leaf form
Rauscedo describes rounded three-lobed leaves with a broad U-shaped petiole sinus. The cylindrical-pyramidal bunch has short wings, and its medium round berries have waxy green-straw skins. Training choices vary with the fertility and dryness of the site.
Wine and historical caution
The wine description includes fruit, citrus, almond and lightly spicy notes. It does not establish that a flavour comes directly from volcanic rock. A proposed route through Corsica and ancient Greece appears in the source, but needs independent evidence before it can be presented as documented history.
