Greco di Tufo Giallo d'Arles 2024

Description

Giallo d'Arles is an extreme and rigorous interpretation of Greco di Tufo. It is produced exclusively with grapes from a single Greco vineyard. Its antique yellow-gold colour, typical of the appellation, is rendered even more intense by the brief period of fermentation in small oak barrels and the complete absence of clarification. It is a white wine with a red, powerful, refined structure, characterised by a deep minerality fused with notes of apricot and quince jam and a full and fresh taste. It also has an extraordinary aptitude for bottle ageing, gaining in elegance, complexity and harmony as the years pass. The name given to the wine is a tribute to Van Gogh's favourite colour during his time in Arles: a yellow prelude to red.

A great wine is the perfect blend between poetry and science, between the imponderable and the measurable. It is essentially beautiful, a work of art. It is a sort of raw material’s transfiguration that springs from must as a statue springs from stone. The man who creates it is the one who carves into this stone, already having the end result in his mind. To do this, obviously a man must have a sound scientific background. He must have an understanding of several things; knowledge of the soil, the physiology of the grape, the biochemical processes underlying the transformation of grapes into wine, and the mechanisms of sensory perception. These represent the essence of my way of making wine, this magical invention of man, which has affected my entire life. It was because of these convictions that my wife Laura and I founded Quintodecimo in 2001. (Luigi Moio) Read more
