2021 Cuomo, Marisa - Costa d'Amalfi Furore Rosso

Born on the steep, sun-drenched terraces of Furore along Italy’s Amalfi Coast, the 2021 Cuomo Marisa Costa d’Amalfi Furore Rosso captures the volcanic terroir and maritime climate of southern Campania in every sip. Grown on vines trained against historic dry-stone walls overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, this medium-bodied red highlights the region’s hallmark balance of lively acidity and firm yet polished tannins. The bouquet reveals concentrated notes of wild cherry, ripe plum, and sun-baked fennel, underpinned by a distinct slate and sea-salt minerality. On the palate, the wine delivers a focused mid-palate with layers of dried herbs, light tobacco, and soft vanilla, rounding out into a persistent, clean finish.

Built for versatility rather than heavy extraction, this bottling aligns naturally with the coastal cooking traditions of Campania. Pour it alongside spaghetti alle vongole, grilled sea bass with bitter greens, or simple tomato-and-olive bruschetta. It also stands up well to wild porcini risotto, roasted duck breast, and semi-aged sheep’s milk cheeses like Caciocavallo or Pecorino di Filiano. Serve at 62–64°F (16–18°C) and decant roughly thirty minutes prior to opening the more delicate citrus and floral aromatics. This 2021 vintage offers a precise, terroir-driven expression of the Amalfi hinterland, crafted for both casual weeknight dinners and shared meals with friends.
