Description
What kind of wine it is
Costa d’Amalfi Furore Bianco Fiorduva by Marisa Cuomo is a white wine from Campania with a Denomination of Controlled Origin, created from a blend of Fenile, Ginestra and Ripoli. In the glass, it displays a bright golden yellow colour, releasing intense aromas of apricot, broom flowers, exotic fruit and Mediterranean herbs. Fermented in oak barrels and matured in stainless steel, it is rich and structured on the palate, supported by a dense and velvety texture. The distinct flavours of ripe fruit and honey are balanced by a vibrant marine savouriness, with a fresh and balsamic finish, ideal for enhancing shellfish, rich risottos, fish dishes and cheeses.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from the characteristic terraces of Furore, in the heart of the Amalfi Coast, a symbolic place of heroic viticulture. The vineyards are situated between 200 and 250 metres above sea level, overlooking the sea and facing south. The vines, trained on pergolas and trellises, sink their roots into dolomitic-limestone rocks that impart a clear mineral imprint to the wine. The coastal climate, tempered by the sun and sea breeze, promotes optimal ripening and defines the authentic Mediterranean profile of the sip.
How it is produced
Production begins at the end of October with the manual harvest of overripe grapes, a technique chosen to maximise aromatic concentration. After gentle pressing and static cold clarification, fermentation takes place at 12°C in oak barrels for about three months, enriching the structure of the must. The production cycle concludes with a four-month maturation in stainless steel, a decisive phase for stabilising the taste balance, olfactory clarity and persistent final elegance.
History and Curiosities
A symbol of heroic viticulture, Fiorduva comes to life on the terraces of Furore. The Marisa Cuomo winery, carved into the rock since 1983, preserves this magnificent vision of Andrea Ferraioli and Luigi Moio. The overripe grapes, hand-picked at the end of October, benefit from barrique fermentation to release a vibrant aromatic breadth, confirmed by the most prestigious awards received by the 2024 vintage.
