A typical and characteristic red, produced with Piedirosso and Aglianico grapes, harvested and selected entirely by hand in the first ten days of October. Following the crushing and destemming, the must ferments for 10-12 days with maceration on the skins. At the end of the malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for 8 months in French oak barriques. In the Red Amalfi Coast the fruit is exalted to the maximum, to go admirably to complete a sip with a sapid and mineral character, modeled by the calcareous soils on which the vines grow and by the saltiness coming from the Tyrrhenian Sea. In fact, it originates in vineyards located in the municipalities of Cetara and in the Raito di Vietri sul Mare hamlet, in the province of Salerno.

In general, it lends itself well to accompanying first and second courses of meat and red or vegetable sauces such as a tasty eggplant parmigiana or a simple caprese ravioli.
