Marisa Cuomo is a 10 hectare estate in Furore, on the Amalfi Coast. The Ferraioli family founded it in 1942. In 1980 Andrea Ferraioli dedicated it to his wife Marisa as a wedding gift, and the winery carries her name. That same year he bought the Gran Furor Divina Costiera brand, which was first created in 1942 for wines of the Furore coast.
The estate sits in the Fiordo di Furore, facing the Gulf of Salerno. Vines are trained mainly on pergola and are often planted on vertical rock walls. The wines are red and white, made from local varieties including Piedirosso, Aglianico, Falanghina and Biancolella. The oenologist Luigi Moio works on them alongside the estate's winegrowers.
Furore Bianco Fiorduva is the estate's most awarded wine. It was named Best White of Italy in the 2006 Oscar and has earned Tre Bicchieri from Gambero Rosso.
