About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The wine comes from Avellino, with the production area identified as Tufo and Torrioni. The grapes grow on terraces with full sun exposure, supporting a balance of aroma and acidity. Predominantly volcanic and sandy soils contribute a mineral character.

Grapes

Greco di Tufo.

Vinification

The grapes are softly pressed, followed by static settling of the must and low-temperature fermentation at 12–14°C. The wine undergoes lees bâtonnage, cold stabilization, and filtration.

Tasting profile

Brilliant straw yellow. The fresh, fragrant bouquet combines pineapple and Golden Delicious apple with floral notes. The palate is intensely savoury, with a pleasant line of acidity.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 10–12°C. Suitable throughout a meal, especially with hot or cold seafood starters, raw fish—particularly shellfish—and vegetable-based first courses.
