Description
What kind of wine it is
Furore Rosso Costa D’Amalfi is a still red wine by Marisa Cuomo, created from a blend of Piedirosso and Aglianico grapes. In the glass, it displays a bright red hue, enhanced by elegant ruby highlights. The aromatic profile is intense and deep, characterised by pronounced notes of ripe cherry and liquorice that precede an enveloping sip. On the palate, it is smooth and balanced, supported by a pleasant and persistent spicy finish.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Campania, at the heart of the Costa D’Amalfi area. The vineyards are located in Furore and neighbouring municipalities, where they are cultivated according to the strict practices of heroic viticulture. The vines grow on steep terraces with pergola and espalier training systems, suspended between rocky cliffs and the sea, with roots delving into soil composed of dolomitic-limestone rocks. This specific soil composition gives the wine a clear gustatory expression, highlighting its deep connection with the coastal terroir.
How it is produced
The production process begins in October with the manual harvesting of the grape bunches. After destemming and crushing, the must undergoes fermentation along with a twelve-day maceration on the skins, precisely extracting colour and phenolic compounds. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine embarks on its maturation journey. Ageing continues for at least six months in second-use French oak barrels, a stage that softens the palate and harmoniously integrates delicate spicy nuances.
History and Curiosities
Furore Rosso embodies the soul of the Marisa Cuomo winery, founded in 1980 on terraces suspended between the sea and the cliffs of the Amalfi Coast. The result of genuine heroic viticulture, this wine is born from the union of Aglianico and Piedirosso, the latter’s curious name referring to the red hue taken on by the shoots before harvest. Maturation in French oak, following the meticulous manual harvest in October, enhances its enveloping notes of ripe cherry. The result is an elegant smooth sip, enriched by a delicate spicy finish.
