Description
What kind of wine it is
Guido Marsella's Greco di Tufo is a still white wine from Campania made from Greco grapes. It appears a bright straw yellow in the glass, while on the nose it reveals fruity aromas that evoke the freshness of its place of origin. On the palate, it displays a well-bodied profile, supported by a savoury note and an elegant minerality that lead the sip towards a pleasantly persistent finish.
Where it comes from
This wine is produced in Campania, at the heart of the renowned Greco di Tufo denomination. The high-altitude vineyards, situated at around seven hundred metres above sea level, benefit from ideal microclimatic conditions for the balanced ripening of Greco grapes. The vine roots delve into a rocky-clay soil, which is essential for giving the wine its pronounced structural identity. The synergy between altitude and soil imparts a distinct mineral texture, enriching the sip with pleasant savoury nuances.
How it is produced
The vinification of Greco grapes aims to preserve the integrity of the variety. Careful ageing in the bottle allows the organoleptic components to integrate at their best, ensuring an estimated longevity of between three and five years. To fully appreciate its character, it is recommended to serve it at a temperature between 12 and 14°C. At the table, it proves to be an ideal companion for seafood dishes, harmoniously accompanying shellfish and cheese selections.
History and Curiosities
Greco di Tufo is a historic grape variety from Campania, and this masterful interpretation by Guido Marsella faithfully celebrates its tradition. The 2022 vintage comes from vines grown at an altitude of 700 metres on a distinctive rocky-clay soil, pedoclimatic conditions that enhance the identity of the Greco di Tufo DOCG designation. Ideal for collectors of great white wines, this precious bottle guarantees longevity of three to five years, offering a magnificent evolution thanks to the slow maturation in the bottle.

This ancient grape variety owes its origins to the Greeks, who imported the 'vitis Apicia' variety into the Campania region and it seems that the first vines were planted in Lapio. The name Apicia is said to derive from the typical fragrance and sweetness of the fruit, which attracts swarms of bees to the vines, and was later changed to Apinia, then Afia, to arrive at the definitive Fiano
The company points out that for Fiano di Avellino DOCG it only uses grapes from its own vineyards, located in Summonte, in the 'Campo di Maio' locality, obtaining a 100% pure wine. Read more
