Marisa Cuomo

Region: Campania

Situated in the Campanian province of Salerno, Costa d’Amalfi operates three DOC subzones—Furore, Ravello, and Tramonti. Marisa Cuomo and her husband, winemaker Andrea Ferraioli, produce six wines dedicated to local varietals.

Cuomo is particularly esteemed for her work with Falanghina, a fairly mild grape that realizes a more demonstrative expression in the Amalfi zone, delivering floral and citrus flavors. Falanghina serves as the primary constituent of Cuomo’s Ravello bottling, which is widely regarded as one of the highest quality expressions of the grape.

Both the Ravello and Furore also feature Biancolella, Falanghina’s frequent partner in the region’s white blends. Fior d’Uva, the third white, is comprised of local whites Fenile and Ginestra. All three of Cuomo’s reds blend Piedirosso—a local red that delivers berry fruits and a slight cinnamon accent—and Aglianico.
