This exceptionally complex Greco showcases aromas of oak, toasted hazelnut and wet stone. The linear palate evokes yellow-apple skin, saline and a dollop of vanilla alongside racy acidity.
The Greco Grapes originate from selected vines within a 6 acre parcel in the San Paolo area within the town of Tufo. Here the vineyards are over 30 years old and grow near sulphureous mines. They are cultivated following different historic methods of the region. Harvest is done by hand and generally happens between the first and the second week of October, depending on the vintage characteristics. Fermentation happens in stainless steel tanks; then the following year 80% of the cuvee is aged in gently toasted large tonneaux oak barrels and the remaining 20% in amphora. Afterwards the finished wine is aged in bottle for an additional year before release.
