Greco di Tufo DOCG

Campanian white DOCG from the ancient Greco grape around the town of Tufo; the town name derives from the yellow tuff volcanic rock that gives the wines their distinctive mineral character. Greco is one of Italy's oldest varieties, brought by Greek colonists; produces full-bodied, oxidation-resistant whites of mineral depth with almond, citrus and volcanic earth character. DOCG since 2003.
