What wine is Costa d’Amalfi Rosso DOC 'Furore' 2024 - Marisa Cuomo

The Costa d’Amalfi Rosso DOC 'Furore' 2024 - Marisa Cuomo is a wine that carries with it all the strength of the Campania region. It is born from the encounter of two great native grape varieties: Aglianico, known for its intense character and significant structure, and Piedirosso (locally called “Per e’ Palummo”), which contributes softness and fragrance. The union of these grapes creates a red with a Mediterranean soul, capable of expressing the minerality of the calcareous soils of the Amalfi Coast and the freshness due to the sea breeze that caresses the vineyards overlooking the sea. The result is an elegant yet direct wine, with a balanced body and a pleasantly savory taste.

Vintage details

The 2024 vintage was characterized by a balanced climate, with a mild spring followed by a breezy and dry summer, ideal for the gradual ripening of the grapes. The temperature variations between day and night enhanced the fruity aromas and ensured perfect aromatic concentration. The harvest, strictly manual, took place between the end of September and the beginning of October, selecting only the healthiest and ripest bunches.

Winemaking and aging

The winemaking of Costa d’Amalfi Rosso DOC 'Furore' 2024 - Marisa Cuomo takes place in stainless steel tanks, where temperature control allows the varietal aromas to be best preserved.
