Description
History
Marisa Cuomo and Andrea Ferraioli founded the winery in 1980 in Furore, in the heart of the Amalfi Coast. With oenologist Luigi Moio, they enhance native varieties like Piedirosso and Aglianico, cultivated on steep terraces between Cetara and Raito, at 100–250 meters above sea level, on dolomitic-limestone soils. A heroic viticulture that yields wines of great personality.
