Introduction:
The 2023 Tenuta San Francesco Tramonti Costa d’Amalfi Bianco DOC is a vibrant and mineral-driven white wine that reflects the stunning coastal terroir of the Amalfi Coast. Made from native Campanian grape varieties, this wine offers freshness, salinity, and a beautifully textured palate, making it a perfect companion for Mediterranean cuisine.
Terrior:
Sourced from high-altitude vineyards in Tramonti, a mountainous subzone of the Costa d’Amalfi DOC, the vines thrive in volcanic and limestone-rich soils. The proximity to the Tyrrhenian Sea provides cooling breezes, preserving acidity and enhancing the wine’s signature mineral and saline qualities.
Appearance:
Pale straw yellow with greenish reflections, indicating freshness and vibrancy.
Nose:
Aromatic and lively, with notes of citrus zest, green apple, and white peach, intertwined with delicate floral hints of jasmine and Mediterranean herbs. A touch of wet stone minerality adds complexity.
Palate:
Light to medium-bodied with a crisp, refreshing texture. Bright flavors of lemon, pear, and melon are balanced by zesty acidity and a distinct saline minerality. A subtle creaminess from lees aging provides additional depth without diminishing the wine’s vibrancy.
Finish:
Clean and persistent, with lingering citrus, floral notes, and a refreshing saline edge.
Overall Impression:
A beautifully fresh and terroir-driven white wine that captures the essence of the Amalfi Coast. Best enjoyed young to appreciate its lively character, this wine pairs perfectly with seafood, grilled vegetables, light pasta dishes, and fresh cheeses like mozzarella di bufala.
