The Montecorvo 2011 is a deeply expressive Campanian red, crafted primarily from Piedirosso with supporting native grapes. It presents a garnet core with aromas of wild cherry, Mediterranean herbs, dried flowers, and hints of volcanic minerality. On the palate, it is structured yet graceful, offering layers of black plum, spice, and earthy undertones carried by a fine tannic backbone and bright acidity. A decade of bottle age has softened its edges, allowing for a harmonious integration of fruit and savory notes. The finish is long and saline, echoing the coastal origin of the wine. This vintage captures both the richness of Campania’s terroir and the refinement that comes with patient cellaring.

Raffaele Palma is a visionary winemaker on the Amalfi Coast, where terraced vineyards overlook the Tyrrhenian Sea. His estate embodies respect for tradition and sustainability, with heroic viticulture carried out entirely by hand due to the extreme steepness of the terrain. Palma focuses on cultivating native varietals that reflect the unique maritime climate and volcanic soils of Campania, producing wines that balance authenticity with elegance. The Montecorvo bottling is among his flagship reds, a testament to the estate’s philosophy of marrying ancient practices with modern precision.
