Epomeo

Epomeo is the highest mountain on the volcanic island of Ischia, in the Gulf of Naples, Italy. Standing at approximately 789 meters above sea level, the mountain offers panoramic beautiful views of the island and its surrounding ocean.

Epomeo is not a volcano itself but a horst, which is a block of the Earth's crust uplifted along faults. It is composed mostly of greenish and whitish tuff, a rock made of consolidated volcanic ash.

The mountain is a popular destination for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts due to its extensive network of trails. Along the way, visitors can explore vineyards, forests, and old, rural churches. There's also a hermitage dedicated to San Nicola located near the peak, carved directly into the rock in the 16th century.

Epomeo's location in the middle of the island makes it a prime location for observing the coastline, the nearby islands of Capri and Procida, and even Mount Vesuvius on the mainland in clear weather conditions.

The volcanic activity of Ischia which formed Epomeo also contributes to the island's famous thermal spas and hot springs, making it a popular tourist destination.

Erbaluce di Caluso or Caluso

Erbaluce di Caluso or Caluso is an Italian white wine that is named after the Erbaluce grape from which it is made. The wine is cultivated in the region of Piemonte in Italy, specifically in the areas surrounding the town of Caluso.

Erbaluce di Caluso is granted the DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita), which is the highest recognition for quality in Italian wines. This means that the wine has to meet stringent criteria in terms of the production area, the grape varieties used, maximum yields, winemaking procedures, and organoleptic (flavor, color, smell) characteristics.

The Erbaluce grape gives the wine a unique acidic profile which balances with its natural sugars. The wine has a straw-yellow color, and is usually high in acidity. It can have a range of flavor notes from fruity and floral when it’s young, developing more complex, honeyed, golden apple and sweet toasty flavors as it ages.

In addition to being made into a dry still wine, the Erbaluce grape is also used to make sparkling (both Metodo Classico and Charmat method) and sweet passito wines. The sweet passito wine, often labeled as Caluso Passito, is produced from grapes that have been partially dried to concentrate their juice.

Erbaluce di Caluso is best paired with fish and seafood, chicken, pork, light appetizers, and creamy pasta dishes. The sweet version makes a good match with desserts and cheese.

Est! Est!! Est!!! di Montefiascone

Est! Est!! Est!!! di Montefiascone is an Italian white wine produced in the areas around Montefiascone, a town situated in Lazio, Italy. The unusual name originates from a story of a 12th-century bishop. While traveling to the Vatican, his advance servant, who was instructed to mark the doors of inns with "Est" (Latin for "it is") to indicate the wine was good enough for the bishop, was highly impressed with the wine at Montefiascone and marked the inn door with "Est! Est!! Est!!!".

The production zone for Est! Est!! Est!!! di Montefiascone wine is in the volcanic hills surrounding Montefiascone near Lake Bolsena. The wines are typically blends with a significant inclusion of Trebbiano, a popular white grape variety in Italy. Other grapes such as Rossetto and Malvasia are also often used.

The wine is generally dry to semi-sweet and often has a light, slightly bitter finish. It exhibits light floral and fruit notes with low acidity. Typically, it is consumed young, but few premium bottles can benefit from short-term aging.

In 1966, the wine was awarded the Denominazione di origine controllata (DOC) status, a quality assurance certification for Italian wines.
