Among vines and rocks overlooking the sea at Furore
The grapes that cling to the rock at Furore are bathed in the magical light of the Amalfi Coast's sun and sea. The charm of the estate's vineyard geometry is matched by its striking cellar carved into the rock.
Founded in 1980, Cantine Marisa Cuomo is the winery of Andrea Ferraioli and Marisa Cuomo, covering 10 hectares of land.
The selection of noble grapes, the search for the right balance of freshness and humidity, the passage of time, old secrets passed down by local winemakers, and cutting-edge techniques give rise to wines of the highest quality, appreciated around the world.
Andrea Ferraioli and Marisa Cuomo, together with oenologist Luigi Moio and the winery's own winemakers, have chosen to focus on quality to stand out in the Italian wine scene, with wines whose flavour is as unique and extraordinary as the Furore coastline itself.
Gran Furor Divina Costiera
Andrea Ferraioli, a descendant of a long line of local winemakers, bought the Gran Furore Divina Costiera brand in 1980 to make wine of the highest quality, reviving his ancestors' secrets and his homeland's centuries-old winemaking tradition.
Together with his wife, Marisa Cuomo, he began a business venture that merged with their family bond: their love and extraordinary passion for wine would take Cantine Marisa Cuomo into the ranks of Italy's finest wine brands on the international stage.
A table full of medals
Major national and international awards have rewarded the effort and passion of Marisa Cuomo and Andrea Ferraioli. Their stubborn determination to keep Furore's ancient winemaking traditions alive has produced wines critics and enthusiasts alike have acclaimed.
2006 Oscar for Fiorduva as best white wine: one of the most coveted and prestigious awards in the Italian wine sector, presented each year by the Italian Sommelier Association. The 2006 Oscar for Fiorduva was unprecedented recognition for a wine from southern Italy, adding Marisa Cuomo's name to the list of Italy's most renowned wineries.
Between 2005 and 2006, many other major awards were added to the Furore winery's medal table: "Tre Bicchieri" from the Gambero Rosso I Vini d'Italia guide, two silver medals for Furore Rosso Riserva and Fiorduva, a gold medal in Los Angeles and the "Best of Class" award for limited production, also in the United States.
They were also included in Luca Maroni's Yearbook of the best Italian wines and in the "Five Grappoli" awarded by the AIS (Italian Sommelier Association) in "Duemilavini", its guide to Italian wines. Marisa Cuomo's wines also feature in the top hundred wines of Paolo Massobrio's Club Papillon guide and in the Veronelli I Vini d'Oro guide, and have won numerous gold medals at the Selezione del Sindaco competition organised by the Città del Vino.
