16 Jan Marisa Cuomo Drives Mecar
An international symbol of oenological excellence, between vines and sheer cliffs over the Mediterranean sea in Furore.
The grapes which grow clinging to the rocks of Furore are exposed to the magic of the sun and the sea of the Amalfi Coast. The geometric beauty of the vineyards and the stunning wine cellar in the rocks combine to create a truly magical atmosphere.
Marisa Cuomo was founded in 1980 by Andrea Ferraioli and Marisa Cuomo. The selection of noble grapes, the search for the perfect balance of cool temperatures and humidity and the employment of old secrets passed down through the generations combined with avant-garde techniques lead to the creation of an extremely high quality wine which is appreciated around the world and has received many prizes on a national and international level.
Andrea Ferraioli and Marisa Cuomo, with the oenologist Luigi Moio and the winegrowers employed by the company, have chosen to focus on quality in order to differentiate themselves from the rest of the national landscape, creating wines with a flavour as unique and as extraordinary as the Furore coast on which they are grown.
Mission and values
The secret of Marisa Cuomo is an incredible passion for wines.
In an area like Furore, so characteristic and yet also so extreme, caring for the vines and the grapes is by necessity an entirely manual job. In close contact with nature, Marisa Cuomo uses different techniques to get the most out of the rocky landscape, using pergola wine training and carefully selecting the most suitable types from among the noble grape vines.
The wines age in an ancient cellar dug out of the rocks, a beautiful place which is also both cool and humid, perfect for the storage of wines in french oak barrels. The wine is produced with modern techniques, in a perfect marriage between nature and technology.
The partneship with Mecar Iveco
“Our partnership with Mecar began when we purchased our first vehicles. Mecar was recommended to us by friends who had already worked with them and who had appreciated both the quality of the Iveco vehicles supplied and the high added value of the services provided”, notes Andrea Ferraioli.
“We continue to choose Mecar for its professionalism, the helpfulness of the staff and the guarantee of product quality and support over the entire life cycle of the vehicle. We share many professional values and have a solid relationship based on those”.
