History
The Fiorduva is the flagship wine of Cantina Marisa Cuomo, located in the picturesque village of Furore on the Amalfi Coast. This wine comes from vineyards cultivated on dolomitic-limestone rocks at altitudes ranging from 200 to 550 meters above sea level. The artisanal and tradition-respecting approach makes Fiorduva a symbol of Italian winemaking excellence.

Production Method
The overripe grapes are hand-harvested and carefully processed to preserve their quality. After a gentle pressing, the must ferments in oak barrels at a controlled temperature (12°C) for about three months. This process enhances the wine’s complexity and depth.
