Piedirosso: the volcanic soul of the Campanian red
Piedirosso is an oenological gem rooted in the fertile volcanic lands of Campania, a region rich in history and winemaking tradition. Also known as "Per'e Palummo," a name that refers to the deep red color of the grape's peduncle, similar to a dove's leg, this wine has captured the hearts of enthusiasts with its unique and distinctive character.
The origins of Piedirosso are deeply tied to the Campanian viticulture culture, where the grapes thrive on the volcanic soils surrounding Mount Vesuvius, giving the wine an unmistakable minerality. For centuries, this native variety has been cultivated with passion and dedication, becoming a symbol of local winemaking tradition.
The production of Piedirosso follows traditional techniques that enhance the peculiarities of the grape variety. The grapes, handpicked in September and October, are vinified with care to preserve their freshness and liveliness. Often, Piedirosso is aged in steel or wood for a short period, allowing the wine to develop aromatic complexity without losing its natural exuberance.
The organoleptic profile of Piedirosso is a sensory journey through the fragrances and flavors of the Mediterranean. On the nose, it releases notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, accompanied by floral hints of violet and a touch of sweet spices. On the palate, it is a medium-bodied wine, with good acidity and soft tannins that give it a balanced structure and a pleasantly persistent finish.
Piedirosso is a versatile wine, capable of accompanying a wide range of Italian cuisine dishes. Perfect with flavorful first courses, such as Neapolitan ragù pasta, or with grilled meat dishes, it is also an excellent companion for aged cheeses and typical Campanian cured meats.
