Piedirosso

Piedirosso, also known as Per ‘e Palummo in the local dialect, is a red grape variety native to the Campania region of southern Italy, particularly around the Vesuvius volcano near Naples. The name Piedirosso translates to “red foot,” referring to the grape’s reddish-colored stalks and stems. Wines made from Piedirosso are characterized by their medium-bodied structure, soft tannins, and vibrant acidity, with flavors of red cherries, raspberries, and a subtle herbal note. What makes Piedirosso unique is its historical significance and its association with the volcanic soils of Mount Vesuvius, which contribute to the grape’s distinctive flavor profile. The wines are often unoaked or aged briefly in neutral vessels to preserve their fruity character and freshness. Piedirosso wines pair well with a variety of Italian dishes, including pizza Margherita, pasta with tomato-based sauces, and grilled vegetables, making them a versatile choice for both casual and formal dining occasions.
