Greco di Tufo DOCG 2024

  The Greco di Tufo from Villa Raiano in Campania appears in the glass in a light straw yellow color with slight golden reflections, which already reveal its elegant fullness. The nose reveals a delicate bouquet of white flowers, ripe yellow fruits such as apple and peach, and subtle aromas of almonds and Mediterranean herbs. These complex aromas are influenced by the mineral soils of the Tufo vineyards, whose volcanic origin gives the wine a characteristic freshness, tension, and an unmistakable expression of the terroir. Particularly noteworthy is the Greco grape variety, one of Campania's oldest indigenous white wine varieties, which was already prized for its quality in ancient times and gives this wine its authenticity and depth.

On the palate, Greco di Tufo is lively and harmonious, supported by a fine acidity that elegantly complements the fruity notes and gives the wine structure and balance. The texture is clear and precise, with mineral components underscoring the characteristic finish of almonds and subtle herbs. The combination of historic grape varieties, optimal vineyard location, and the volcanic terroir of the Tufo hills gives this wine an unmistakable personality that impressively reflects the winemaking tradition and cultural heritage of Campania. - Gerardo [TS10/25]
