Costa d'Amalfi Montecorvo 2014, Raffaele Palma
A monumental red for discipline and territorial identity. The olfactory profile alternates mature black fruits with balsamic and saline notes of extreme refinement. On the palate, it is dense, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the strength of Tintore and the grace of Piedirosso. A demonstration of style that places Raffaele Palma among the great guardians of heroic Campanian viticulture.
Costa d'Amalfi Montecorvo 2014, Raffaele Palma
The Costa d'Amalfi "Montecorvo" 2014 by Raffaele Palma is one of the most profound and sincere expressions of the Amalfi Coast. Born from terraced vineyards in Maiori, this wine is the result of heroic organic farming on steep slopes. The 2014 vintage, complex and fresh across Italy, offered a slow ripening in this corner of Campania, highlighting finesse over power. On the nose, it is a concert of Mediterranean scrub: notes of small red fruits in jam and plum blend with deep hints of myrtle, carob, noble leather, and an almost iodized saline mineral streak. On the palate, it is sumptuous in its integrity; the entrance is austere, dominated by a noble and now smooth tannic structure, stretching towards a savory, balsamic finish with an endless aromatic persistence that evokes dark spices and volcanic ash.
