Spring isn't a great time for visiting wineries in this area, since most don't have quite the same impressive facilities you'd find where the long-term aging of reds is more common.
But try...

That said, the new season's white wines are usually launched in late March, so there's usually some interest!
And if you're perhaps coming over to Ischia, there are several wineries here that welcome visitors - have stumble round their websites for tour details...

Frascati is not near to the Amalfi Coast. And Lucca is not in Chianti.
The best known wines of the Amalfi Coast are from the Furore D.O.C. There are also a few wines produced in the areas of Ravello and Tramonti. All three of these are areas in the hills above the coast.
Marisa Cuomo is one very well respected name in the Furore D.O.C. region.

Campania has many many excellent wines, but the areas of production are a bit of a drive from the Amalfi Coast. For example, around Avellino.

Here is an agriturismo in Furore that also produces wine, and that offers meals to non-guests. They might offer you a tour of the vineyards if you inquire ahead of time. The food is reputedly very good.

Wines from this Ravello producer are a staple of many area restaurant lists; you could contact them and see about a visit:

I've offered an idea or two for wineries in Ravello and in Furore. Here is one in Tramonti, the other wine center of the Amalfi Coast. This winemaker also runs a B&B:

Although this thread is over 3 years old, I will mention the winery Vigne di Raito, in the hamlet of Raito near Vietri Sul Mare. They will arrange transportation from Salerno for you - it is a quick 10-minute ride.
