Amalfi Coast

The Amalfi Coast is an area of rare beauty that is not often associated with wine production. On the one hand, the land is often made up of steep cliffs, which lend themselves poorly to cultivation, on the other hand, the ingenuity of the inhabitants has allowed them to create extremely special vineyards that make the most of the little space available.
If the cost of managing these vineyards is decidedly higher than normal, the quality of the Costa d'Amalfi DOC wines (but not only) is unquestionable and is favoured by the strong temperature excursion that is recorded in the area due also to the great difference in altitude (with altitudes varying from 100 to 600 m in a very small space).

ORGANIC VINEYARDS AND WINERY FOR SALE, AMALFI COAST

Amalfi Coast Winery

The estate, built along a cliff overlooking the sea, covers a total surface of 22.0 hectares (54.2 acres), masterfully terraced so to fully exploit lands placed on steep slope, and falls inside the Parco regionale dei Monti Lattari.

Cultivated following a totally organic management we have a vineyard (6.1 ha with varieties of the area), an olivegrove (2.4 ha with Colline Salernitane DOP appellation) and a citrus grove (2.6 ha).

The remaining surface (10.9 ha) is covered in woodland and Mediterranean scrub. Among other things we have figs and prickly pears which (together with grapes and lemons) are used in the production of organic marmalades and jams.

The winery produces the following wines:

Costa d’Amalfi DOC Bianco: Falanghina (50%), Biancolella (10/15%), Ginestra (30/35%)
Costa d’Amalfi DOC Rosso: Piedirosso (50/60%), Aglianico (20/30%), Tintore (10%)
Costa d’Amalfi DOC Rosato: Piedirosso (50/60%), Aglianico (20/30%), Tintore (10%)

Among the products of the estate we must remember the excellent Femminello sfusato Amalfitano “Limone Costa d’Amalfi IGP” whose zest is also used in the production of a lemon-flavored liquor. The wild fennel growing inside the estate is used to produce another liquor named Finocchietto. The production of the two liquors currently ranges around a few thousands bottles, but could be further increased.

USE AND POTENTIAL USES

The property is currently run as an organic farm with production of wines, oil, jams, lemons and liquors. The restoration of the many buildings along the slope would allow converting them into residential units which could be rented out to the many tourists visiting the Amalfi Coast every year, granting an increment of the property’s income.

The agricultural activities could also act as learning activities for visitors, a way to shows the peculiar cultivation systems needed in the area and the productive processes involved in the production of wine, oil, jams and liquors.
