Producer tasting notes: (2023 vintage) "This wine is bright yellow with golden hues. The scent is reminiscent of apricots and broom flowers, with a hint of tropical fruit. The taste is smooth, dense and characterised by a considerable aromatic persistence of dried apricots, sultanas and candied fruit." - Marisa Cuomo

Showing extra richness and beautiful fruit concentration, the Marisa Cuomo 2021 Costa d'Amalfi Furore Bianco Fiorduva opens slowly to reveal the intensity and elegance that has made this bottle an icon of the Amalfi Coast.

Production is 30,613 bottles. Drink Date: 2023 – 2030  - Reviewed by: Monica Larner, Nov 30, 2023

Marisa Cuomo is building a new winery in order to better optimize space and production. This historic estate has a beautiful barrel room carved into the side of a rocky cliff overlooking sea views on the Amalfi Coast. As always, these wines are so much fun to drink and enjoy.
