Description
What type of wine it is
The Costa d'Amalfi Ravello Rosso Riserva by Marisa Cuomo is a red wine from Campania with a Controlled Designation of Origin, born from a blend of Aglianico and Piedirosso grapes and matured in oak barrels. The sensory profile opens with aromas of forest fruit jam, blueberries and blackberries, enriched by smoky nuances and notes of rosemary. On the palate, it expresses body and a smooth and balanced texture. The progressive and persistent finish closes with elegant hints of liquorice, vanilla and spices, making this wine ideal for enhancing dishes such as roasted meats, braised meats and game.
Where it comes from
This oenological expression comes to life among the steep slopes of the municipalities of Ravello and Scala, in the heart of the famous Amalfi Coast. The vineyards are a clear example of heroic viticulture, cultivated on coastal terraces located between three hundred and four hundred metres above sea level. The south-west exposure ensures optimal sun ripening, while the soil composed of dolomitic-limestone rocks gives the wine a precise gustatory imprint and a structure with a strong identity.
How it is produced
Production begins at the end of October with the manual harvesting of the clusters. After destemming and crushing, the must undergoes alcoholic fermentation with a maceration on the skins of thirty days. The subsequent malolactic fermentation and twelve months of maturation take place in new French oak barrels, inside a cellar carved into the rock that ensures a humid and cool microclimate. A long final ageing of thirty-six months follows, essential for stabilising the wine's complex and deep aromatic structure.
History and trivia
Born among the majestic terraces of Ravello and Scala, this masterpiece by Marisa Cuomo represents the excellence of heroic viticulture. The prized Piedirosso and Aglianico grapes, strictly hand-picked, come to life in an evocative cellar carved into the rock with an ideal microclimate. Ageing for twelve months in new French oak barriques and thirty-six months in the bottle sculpts an elegant and structured Costa d'Amalfi DOC, whose limited production celebrates the authentic charm of the Campanian terroir.
