Costa d'Amalfi Furore Bianco 'Fiorduva' by Marisa Cuomo is obtained exclusively from overripe grapes that are harvested manually and arrive in the cellar intact.

It was exactly 1980, the year in which Andrea Ferraioli presented the small vines he had inherited from his father as a wedding gift to the future bride. In this way the "Marisa Cuomo" winery was born, and with it began a story made of love, passion and endless work, which in thirty years led Andrea Ferraioli and Marisa Cuomo really far away, until they touched olympus of the best whites in the world. The winery is located in the town of Furore, a small jewel of the Amalfi Coast, and its vineyards overlook the beautiful Gulf of Salerno, from Ravello to Scala, along the fjords that reach Amalfi. About ten hectares of vineyards in total, which rise to an average height of five hundred meters, and climb the steep slopes overlooking the blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The vines, supported by chestnut piles according to the pergola rearing system, are so-called "wall", that is, they emerge horizontally from the dry-stone walls that the same Andrea and Marisa have laboriously built terracing. With an average that reaches the age of eighty, the plants are all frank and pre-phylloxera. Raising the most unknown and typical vines of the area such as fenile, piedirosso, broom, pepella, ripolo, sciascinoso, dyer and tronto, Marisa and Andrea are able to give a deep, sincere and unmistakable mark to all their labels. Rossi, Rosati or Bianchi, under the name "Furore", "Ravello" or "Costa d'Amalfi", all the wines produced by the Salerno winery are an expression of what is defined as "heroic viticulture", in which even more than any other thing counts the fatigue of the hands and the sweat of the forehead. Wines, those of Marisa Cuomo, which are made in the company's flagship label, which for years has seen in Fiorduva one of the finest and most renowned whites of the entire Italian peninsula and beyond.

THE WINE
Costa d'Amalfi Furore Bianco 'Fiorduva' by Marisa Cuomo is obtained exclusively from overripe grapes that are harvested manually and arrive in the cellar intact. After soft pressing the must is fermented for about 3 months in oak barrels. Loaded yellow with gold reflections. The scent recalls apricot and broom flowers, with hints of exotic fruit. The taste is soft, dense and characterized by an important aromatic persistence of dried apricot, raisin and candied fruit. One of the most important whites in Italy, a wine to be collected jealously and uncorked on special occasions.
THE COMPANY
One hundred and thirty hectares, of which 36 are vineyards, spread among the clayey hills of Civitella d'Agliano and the Umbrian plain washed by the Tiber. We are located in the province of Viterbo, in an area dedicated to viticulture since 1292, as shown by some historical archival documents. The Mottura estate belongs to the family of the same name since 1933, and has been managed by Sergio Mottura since the 1960s, under whose guidance the company has undergone important renewal phases, both as regards the new replanting, and as regards the cellar activity. Following the rules of organic farming, the strenuous pursuit of the maximum ecological balance is one of the company's beliefs, and even in the winery the vinifications exclude any chemical intervention, are the most natural possible. Revaluing the native vines and carrying out practical experiments on the field, those of Sergio Mottura are rich, inebriating, persistent, vigorous and enveloping wines. Unique and excellent labels, starting from "Latour a Civitella", the first ever white wine from Lazio which has been awarded the recognition of the 3 glasses by the Gambero Rosso guide on the "Wines of Italy".
EXTREME WINES: FIORDUVA
The “Vini Estremi” (i.e., Extreme Wines) are heroic wines, children of the hard work, sweat and industriousness of man; they are often produced in unknown, geographically unbroken, at times impossible areas, and cultivated in tiny plots of land snatched away from the mountainside, the rocks and the sea.
From Trentino-Alto Adige to Sardinia, from Valle d'Aosta to the island of Pantelleria, from Valtellina to the Amalfi Coast, from the Cinque Terre to the slopes of Etna, the ancient Enotria boasts a myriad wines that have survived wars, plagues and the scourge of phylloxera.
Grape varieties which, thanks to the tenacity and passion of certain small-scale but great winegrowers, have been plucked out of oblivion and are still able to offer the followers of Bacchus the most extraordinary wines.
