TRAMUNTE

Tramunte is the red wine of Cantina Tagliafierro — a wine of volcanic power and genuine depth produced from Tintore grapes native to the Amalfi Coast, blended with Piedirosso, on the ancient dry-stone terraces of Tramonti. It is a wine that speaks of red roots, of storied hills, and of ancient hands — the description captures accurately both the character of the wine and the philosophy of the estate that produces it.

The Tintore grape is among the most specifically territorial varieties in the UniqueWines portfolio: genuinely native to the Amalfi Coast, shaped over centuries by the specific combination of volcanic soil, Mediterranean climate, sea salt influence, and the dramatic vertical landscape of the Tramonti terraces. It is a grape of considerable character — capable of producing wines of substantial body and genuine complexity when grown on these ancient soils by people who understand its particulars.

In Tramunte, the Tintore is blended with Piedirosso in proportions that preserve the primacy of the native variety while benefiting from the Piedirosso's particular contribution to freshness and aromatic elegance. The resulting wine yields a very rich mouthful with moderate tannins modulated by freshness — a balance that is central to the wine's character and that reflects the estate's skill in handling varieties of considerable natural power.

Fruit and flower intertwine on the nose in a genesis of sour cherry and pure plum, mixed with wet bark and red berries — an aromatic profile of genuine Amalfi Coast specificity. The volcanic power of the territory is present in every sip, combined with the passion of those who work the vineyards with dedication on terraces that most would consider impossible to cultivate at all. The name derives from the village of Tramonti and evokes the strength of its roots and the warmth of the coastal cove.

Tramunte belongs alongside the richest preparations of the Campanian and southern Italian table. Available through UniqueWines.
