Tasting Notes: The Marisa Cuomo Ravello Bianco is a glorious pale straw yellow color with greenish hues and a characteristic fruit-forward aroma mixed with floral notes. Good salinity on the lengthy finish adds dimension to the fruit notes. The hand-picked grapes are brought into the cellar whole, and after being de-stemmed and crushed they undergo soft pressing. The free-run must, which undergoes cold static fining and is inoculated with selected yeasts, ferments at a temperature of 18°C for about 20/30 days.
Estate History: The Marisa Cuomo winery was established in 1980 by Andrea Ferraioli and Marisa Cuomo. Having bought the estate and vineyards off his family members, Andrea gifted it to Marisa upon marriage. Together the couple revitalized the formerly neglected vineyards, making them what they are today. The estate is located on the rocks of Furore on the Amalfi Coast, where it is exposed to the elements and vines are planted along vertical rock cliffs. Because of the terrain, harvest is done by hand with the harvesters having to climb up and down stone steps carved out of the cliffside. The picked grapes are then carried out of the vineyards on donkeys or small monorail systems. The wine cellar has been built into the rock allowing them to use current technological advances as well as nature to vinify the wine. By combining the knowledge passed down from local winemakers, ancient winemaking traditions, and the application of new technology, the Marisa Cuomo estate produces wines appreciated by wine lovers all over the world.
