Description
What kind of wine it is
Greco di Tufo Goleto Riserva by Tenute Capaldo is a still white wine with a golden hue, an authentic and structured expression of the Greco di Tufo grape. This wine of refined elegance reveals distinctive acacia flower aromas intertwined with clear mineral notes on the nose. On the palate, it is pleasant, delicate and balanced, offering a harmonious sip that ideally accompanies dishes of white fish and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the vineyards of San Paolo, in Campania, an area renowned for viticulture. The vines grow at an altitude between three hundred and four hundred metres above sea level, benefiting from optimal exposure to the south and south-east. These soil and climate conditions define the clear aromatic personality of the grapes. The result of a project aimed at enhancing native grape varieties, the estate applies organic and sustainable practices, highlighting the strong connection with the Campanian region and the authenticity of the original terroir.
How it is produced
Production begins with a manual harvest usually carried out in October, in order to select the best bunches. The resulting must undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks, preserving its cleanliness and aromatic integrity. The ageing process lasts a year and is skilfully divided between the use of gently toasted barrels and amphorae. This technical combination enriches the structure of the wine, which completes its development with a further rest in the bottle.
