The area was classified as the second Italian DOC area in 1966. The zone includes all the municipalities on the island (Isola d'Ischia) northeast of Capri, which is part of the province of Naples.

The Romans later called the island "Enia", which meant "land of wine". Wines from Ischia were already appreciated as "Greco wine" in the 16th century for their hygienic and therapeutic effects
