Greco di Tufo

One of Campania's three great DOCG white wine appellations, named for both its ancient grape variety and the tufa volcanic soil of the Irpinia hills. Greco di Tufo produces structured, mineral whites with striking almond, white peach, and smoky volcanic notes. Naturally high in acidity and built for aging, the best examples rival top white Burgundy in complexity after 5-10 years.
