Tenuta San Francesco "Per Eva" Costa D'Amalfi Bianco DOC 2023

This Amalfi Coast white blend is straw yellow with golden sparkles in the glass, with a nice bouquet of lemon, pear, floral and aromatic herbal aromas. The complex and full-bodied palate is crisp and dry, mineral and saline, with flavors of roasted peaches, honey, apples and lemon peel, followed by a round, silky but mineral-driven finish. Wonderful expression of the coast and a perfect accompaniment for seafood dishes.

Produced from grape varieties Falanghina, Ginestra and Pepella in guyot system cultivated on thin superficial layer of red clay and volcanic ash over Dolomite limestone between 500 to 600 meters above sea level in the Vigna dei Preti. The grapes are harvested by hand. Vinification and maturation in stainless steel vats between 8-10 months and 2-4 months in the bottle before release to the market.

Tenuta San Francesco is located in the Tramonti, in a vally on the Sorrento peninsula. Tramonti means “between the mountains.” The winery was started by four friends in 2004 to revive the viticultural tradition of the area, using very old vines that are, in some cases, 400-500 years old. The “pomice” volcanic rocks absorb water in the winter and release it in summer, so no irrigation is needed. "Per Eva" is an authentic expression of the Tramonti terroir, characterized by these centuries-old vines.

Tenuta di San Francesco aims to preserve its monumentality, the historical and cultural value of such a rarity by paying attention to the type of natural, non-invasive cultivation, a non-certified organic viticulture that tends to defend what is the authenticity of the flavors of these centuries-old vines. It is defined as heroic cultivation, because the vines are arranged in terraces on sloping terrain, in inaccessible points where harvesting is difficult, between 200 to 600 meters above sea level. All work in the vineyard must be done by hand.
