White

A gift to Marisa from her husband on their wedding day, this estate lies on the Amalfi Coast. Fiorduva is a blend of 40% Ripoli (early ripening), 30% Fenile (late ripening), and 30% Ginestra (for aromatic complexity) – all indigenous varieties and mostly pergola-trained. The bunches are picked slightly late, at the end of October, and the wine is – rather unusually – aged in caves beneath the high cliffs upon which the vineyards perch. Vinified in French oak barriques for three months, the wine then ages for a further six months in barriques followed by 12 months in bottle. Breezy and saline, it’s a characterful expression of coastal Campania’s indigenous varieties. The nutty complexity combines with juicy, bright pineapple, lemon and peach. Sapid, concentrated and fleshy, this is a distinctive and very moreish white.
