2023 Fiorduva Costa d'Amalfi

This is one of my all-time favorite southern Italian wines, made with 40% Ripoli, 30% Fenile and 30% Ginestra and aged in French barrique. As someone who regularly vacations on the Amalfi Coast, the Marisa Cuomo 2023 Costa d'Amalfi Furore Bianco Fiorduva is the bottle that brings me back to vacation bliss (even if tasted in the heart of winter). I love the salinity and the carefree peachy fruit. This hot vintage is a little denser than past editions, but the wine still takes me back to beach umbrellas, crescent coves and epic grilled fish dinners. Production is 32,000 bottles. This wine always has a distinctive richness and silkiness. I love it.
