From just north of Naples, Piedirosso is the quintessential Neoploitan wine/grape. Ruby red in color, with a medium-light body that is a refreshing choice for a red wine in the warmer months of the year. It reminds of a Beaujolais Cru with more acidity and more tannin. 12% abv also keeps things fresh, crisp and even better with a chill. Make sure you open 1 hour+ if a younger vintage.
Piedirosso gets its name during maturation, the stem turns a red color which is similar to a pigeon’s leg. — 8 years ago

Very interesting Italian white--smooth on the palate and reminiscent of a Viognier/Roussane blend. — 9 years ago
Perfect balance of peppery burnished red berry with hint of plum and tangerine. Prosciutto. No longer. Love this little guy. — 7 years ago

Such a treat! Crisp and mineral tones with light pear and apple hints! A completely new white grape for me, delightful! — 8 years ago
Awesome white. Easy to drink but not simple at all...apricot, brioche, bitter almond skins with minerality and salinity. Touch of honey. Gorgeous mouth feel, soft pleasant acidic finish. — 9 years ago
