Anecdote: When you travel through these places, you feel surrounded by tradition and the wisdom of the work of generations. The strong scent of the earth emanates from the plots of the rows of vineyards: it is this scent that makes this territory and the wine so special. They produce two different Greco DOCGs, to optimally utilize the territorial expression of the same vines, but in different positions and climatic conditions, which can give different flavors and aromas. Il Greco di Tufo D.O.C.G. Picoli derives its name from the eponymous vineyard, located in the hamlet of Picoli at 600 meters above sea level, in the northeast, while on the other side at 450 meters above sea level we produce the Greco di Tufo D.O.C.G. located on clayey, mixed limestone, gravel and immersed in the delicate scents of apples, quinces, and mulberries we produce grapes with which we can make elegant wines with a unique flavor, tannin, and a long lifespan. This is top Greco di Tufo at very attractive prices. A gem that is still not well known, but that is about to change!

Scores Comments Terroir Sense: Bright golden-tinged yellow. Aromas of lime, baked apple, almond paste and crushed stone. Steely and quite firm on entry, then creamier in the middle offering complex flavours of apple, lemon, sweet spices, and minerals. Brilliantly fresh, deep and nicely structured. Very long on the finish. This superb wine is dedicated to dad, Raffaele, and was actually one of the rare good things born from the Covid-pandemic; a vat of Greco wine stayed on the lees far longer than it was supposed to, and the wine turned out excellent.
