Greco di Tufo: the authentic Campanian spirit in a glass
Among the sun-kissed hills of Campania, Greco di Tufo emerges as one of Italy's most distinctive and appreciated white wines. This oenological gem has its roots in a distant past, when the Greco grape was introduced by Greek settlers to southern Italy. The chosen territory for this elegant white is the province of Avellino, where volcanic soils bestow the wine with a unique and unmistakable personality.
Greco di Tufo is made from the grape of the same name, which stands out for its ability to express the peculiarities of the Irpinian terroir to the fullest. The grapes, hand-picked to preserve their integrity, are vinified using traditional techniques that enhance their freshness and aromatic intensity. The result is a wine of great complexity and finesse, characterized by an olfactory bouquet rich in floral and fruity notes, with hints of almond and a subtle minerality.
Visually, Greco di Tufo presents itself with a bright straw-yellow color, reflecting the vibrancy and freshness of this wine. On the nose, intense aromas of white flowers, citrus, and yellow-fleshed fruit are released, accompanied by a delicate scent of aromatic herbs and a slight smoky note, a legacy of the volcanic soil. On the palate, Greco di Tufo is dry, with a full body and an elegant structure, supported by a vibrant acidity that gives length and persistence to the sip.
This Campanian white wine is perfect for accompanying fish and seafood dishes, but it also expresses its best alongside fresh cheeses and white meats. Its versatility makes it an ideal companion for a multitude of gastronomic pairings, capable of surprising and winning over even the most demanding palates.
