Greco di Tufo 2025

What kind of wine is it

Greco di Tufo Mastroberardino is a still white wine from Campania, an authentic expression of Irpinia with a controlled and guaranteed designation of origin, made from Greco grapes and vinified in steel. It stands out for its structured and elegant sensory profile, with a complex bouquet featuring notes of citrus, peach, pineapple, apricot and lime. On the palate, it is fresh and mineral, characterised by excellent persistence that leads to an intense finish with clear hints of citron. Thanks to these characteristics, it is ideal for pairing with shellfish soups, fragrant risottos and white meats.

Where does it come from

This white wine originates in the Greco di Tufo area, in Campania, among the hills of Irpinia. The vineyards are situated at an average altitude of 450 metres above sea level, with a south-east exposure that ensures optimal ripening of the grapes. The vine roots delve into clay-limestone soils, responsible for the pronounced minerality of the taste. The Greco grape variety has a deep historical connection with this land: introduced by the Pelasgians in the first century BC, it was known to the Romans as Aminea Gemina for the bifid shape of the bunch and boasts an extraordinary propensity for ageing.

How is it produced

Vineyard management involves training the vines on trellises, with a strict manual harvest of the bunches during the second ten days of October. In the winery, the process respects the raw material through classic white vinification, enhanced by a brief maceration. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Before being ready for tasting, the wine rests in the bottle for several months, a crucial step to fix its aromatic qualities and gustatory tension.
