Cuomo 2005 Costa d’Amalfi Furore (Campania) – Piedirosso and aglianico. Red berries run over by a bulldozer. There’s such a crazy mix of pretty red fruit, sun-baked warmth, and spiky acidity here that I’m not at all sure what to think about the wine. I’m sure guzzling it on the Amalfi Coast would make it all clear. But in frigid Boston, it’s an appealing but ultimately confusing wine. I like it, for all that, but it will need the right food.
