Vintage details

The 2023 vintage on the Amalfi Coast was characterized by a balanced climate: mild winters and dry springs favored a slow and regular ripening of the grapes, preserving their natural aromas. The sea breezes helped maintain optimal temperatures, promoting the correct acidity and typical savory notes that distinguish Fiorduva.

Winemaking and aging

After manual harvesting, the grapes are brought to the cellar where fermentation begins for about three months in French oak barriques. This process, accompanied by the inoculation of selected yeasts, allows the wine to develop a broad and harmonious structure, without losing its natural freshness. Subsequently, the wine rests on its lees before being bottled, ensuring greater complexity and aromatic persistence. The result is an intense, soft, and at the same time vibrant white wine.
