2018 Marisa Cuomo "Furore Bianco Fiorduva" Costa d'Amalfi

SKU #1495623 93 points Decanter

In 2018, the opulent style of Fiorduva Furore is, if possible, riper than usual. Late harvested, the grapes Ripoli (40%), Ginestra (30%) and Fenile (30%) are very rich, showing the minerality of this coastal range’s dolomitic soils. Gold in the glass, it has a kind of bittersweet character, with dried apricot and candy floss. Lemony and zesty in the mouth, with a tight palate and almost aggressive acidity that’s integrated with the fruit. The amazing length is shared by toasty oak and the iodine character of the grapes.

K&L Notes

Cantine Marisa Cuomo is a small winery located in Furore on the Amalfi Coast, where the vines grow on terraced slopes, which are also teeming with lemon and fig trees, and peregrine falcons still nest there. The Fiorduva, named for the Fjord of Furore, is a blend of three indigenous grapes: Fenile, Ginestra, and Ripoli, harvested late into the season. Fresh, like the sea, the wine envelops with lemony zip on the nose and notes of apricot and tropical fruit, with hints of ocean air that continue from the bouquet onto the honeyed and floral palate. With its minerally texture and plenty of acidity, the wine is full in the mouth and absolutely delicious.
