This four-grower team joined forces in beautiful Tramonti in 2004, pooling together their pre-phylloxera plantings of ancient varieties along with their expertise. The base for their red blend is the Aglianico variety: typically powerful, savory, low-toned, and deeply tannic. However, here on the breathtaking Amalfi Coast, the gentle hands at Tenuta San Francesco's offer just a suggestion of those elements. By blending in native Campania varieties Tintore and Piedirosso they are able to achieve more freshness and lift: notes of bright red fruits and violets to go with the baritone expressions of tobacco and spice.
