Vintage details

The 2021 vintage in Irpinia was characterized by balanced climatic conditions, with mild springs and a warm but not excessive summer. The temperature excursions between day and night favored perfect grape ripening, preserving acidity and aromas. The result is a linear and vibrant wine, with a clean and precise profile.

Winemaking and aging

The Greco grapes are hand-picked, selecting only the best bunches from approximately two hectares of south-east facing vineyard. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures to maintain the intact fruity and floral notes of the grape variety. The wine then remains on its lees for several months, a practice called "affinamento sur lie" (aging on lees), which gives it body and complexity without using wood. It does not go into barriques, to fully preserve the purity and freshness of Greco di Tufo.
