This is what good wine from the Piedirosso grape tastes like

The Italian Piedirosso grape produces accessible red wines. Fruity, elegant, not too heavy, and highly drinkable. Generally speaking, they are not high-end wines, but they offer great drinking pleasure.

The Piedirosso – literally: 'red feet' – grows in the Italian wine region of Campania, near Naples. You can find it there, among other places, on the beautiful islands of Capri and Ischia in the Gulf of Naples. The Piedirosso is disappearing. Barely half of what was planted twenty years ago remains. It is a pity, because it is a historic grape from this very old wine region, which was the center of the wine trade during the times of the Roman Empire.
