The wine region of Costa d'Amalfi
Campanian DOC (1995) on the Amalfi Coast on vertiginous terraces facing the Mediterranean, sub-zones Furore, Ravello and Tramonti. Falanghina and Biancolella are the white signatures: dry and structured with notes of citrus, apple, white flowers, Mediterranean herbs and a saline touch, good aging potential. Aglianico and Piedirosso are the red signatures blended with Sciascinoso: fruity with cherry, berries, geranium and peppery touch, supple tannins. Manual harvesting compulsory.
The wine region of Campania
Cradle of southern Italy's great wines on volcanic soils. Majestic Aglianico in red: structured, deep and tannic with notes of black cherry, candied plum, leather and spices, sublimated in age-worthy Taurasi DOCG, the "Barolo of the south". Identity whites of Irpinia: opulent Fiano di Avellino (honey, hazelnut), mineral iodine Greco di Tufo, aromatic Falanghina (peach, flowers). Also supple Piedirosso.
The word of the wine: White winemaking
White wines are obtained by fermentation of the juice after pressing. A pre-fermentation maceration is sometimes practiced to extract the aromatic substances from the skins. White wines are normally made from white grapes, but can also be made from red grapes (blanc de noirs). The grapes are then pressed as soon as they arrive at the vat house without maceration in order to prevent the colouring matter contained in the skins from "staining" the wine.
