SANPAOLO - CAMPANIA (Torrioni, Avellino), ITALY
Perched on a volcanic hill surrounded by vineyards and woods, it collects the legacy of a historical area and projects it into the future with a contemporary vision and language. It rises in the capital of Greco di Tufo DOCG in the heart of Irpinia, on a hilly ridge, to the right of the Sabato river. The grapes come from selected plots in the most suitable areas and are grown up to 700 meters above sea level, where the strong temperature range enhances its aroma. The soil is varied between clayey, calcareous, sandy and with ashes from Vesuvius.

Tasting notes and pairings
Bright straw yellow color, the nose conquers for the complexity of the aromas:
from the floral of broom, acacia, chamomile as well as a faint vein of
mandarin, white pulp fruit, with a background of hazelnut and mineral
and smoky notes. On the palate it is rich in fruit and balanced, a seductive
acidity refreshes the palate, offering a long and vibrant finish. Wine with
great aging potential. Ideal for vegetarian plates, delicate first courses, seafood,
white meats and slightly aged cheeses.
