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.
100% Greco di Tufo
yeld per hectare: 60 Q / HA
One of the smallest DOCGs in Italy, albeit highly productive: the production area includes only 8 municipalities in the province of Avellino. The name reveals its origins, in Greek culture it was already recognized as a vine of great value, which was poured "last and only once" at banquets (Pliny the Elder). Difficult to vinify, the bunch is compact and the skin is thin and contains many tannins to tame. The peel is rich in catechins and pigments which, despite their delicacy, prepare them for long aging. The harvest is carried out strictly by hand, the grapes placed in boxes and transported to the cellar, where they are selected during the destemming phase.
Straw color with golden flashes, bright. On the nose, ample initial notes of peach and medlar, cedar and ginger, are seasoned with elegant notes of hazelnuts, mint, sage, white pepper, vanilla, chalk and vegetable herbs. Ideal for vegetables, delicate first courses, seafood, white meats and slightly aged cheeses. Ideal pairing: paccheri with artichokes carbonara.
