Greco di Tufo

White

A new project from Antonio Capaldo (Feudi di San Gregorio) inspired by his in-depth research into the terroirs of Irpinia, sourced from a 2.5ha plot of 25- to 35-year-old vines. This modern interpretation of Greco di Tufo is aged in lightly toasted tonneaux (80%) and amphora (20%) for 12 months, followed by a further 12 months in bottle. Waxy aromas of preserved lemon, candied citrus and summer meadow mingle on the intense, well structured palate. It has a distinct saline frame filled in with lemon and pear and some licks of peach. The dry, tangy mineral finish is perhaps emphasised by the amphora-aged portion.
