Costa d'Amalfi
Wine · PDO · 13 municipalities
Recognised since 2004, Campania’s Costa d'Amalfi DOC covers thirteen municipalities, including Cetara and Maiori. The appellation distinguishes itself through highly specific subzone composition rules. While the base white wine requires a minimum of 40 percent Falanghina and/or Biancolella, the Furore Bianco subzone mandates combining these with 40 to 60 percent of Pepella, Ripoli, Fenile, and Ginestra grapes. For red and rosato wines, the Tramonti subzone requires a minimum of 20 percent Tintore grapes alongside Piedirosso, Sciascinoso, and Aglianico. These detailed, localized grape rules ensure a highly specific varietal identity for each designated subzone.
