Piedirosso means “red feet” in Italian. The name refers to the three branches and red colour of the grape’s stem. This ancient Campanian grape is blended with the more prevalent local grape, Aglianico, in this bold, taut red wine that is refreshing with a firm structure and herbal bitters. Its earthy rusticity may not appeal to all but should please lovers of dry, savoury red wines looking to step off the beaten track. 2025-2032–JB
