Greco di Tufo

According to Aristotle, the ancient clones of the Greco vine come from Tessaglia. The most famous among them is the "Aminea Gemina Maior", from which this wine is made. Lively brilliant straw yellow and a wide, intensely fruity bouquet. Versatile fruit aromas in the harmonious taste. SUPERIORE.DE

Greco del Sannio from Terre Stregate is as clear and bright as the Northern Lights. It has an irresistible aroma of yellow tropical fruit, melon and lime. Full-bodied, soft and round on the palate with an animating acidity. SUPERIORE.DE

The Greco, with its straw yellow colour and brilliant reflections, has a distinct aroma spectrum, from the delicate scent of white fruit to notes of vanilla, bracken and mint. On the palate, it impresses with its warm yet fresh flavour and balanced mineral structure with a lingering finish. SUPERIORE.DE

The Greco di Tufo has an intense and persistent aroma of white peach, apricot, almond oil and citrus with restrained mineral notes. The flavour is powerful, fresh and rich. A wine with character and strong typicity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fresh and limey citrus with a hint of seashell minerality and green apples. Simple but bone-dry and fresh on the palate, with a lovely phenolic note and a chalky finish. Drink now." James Suckling

"The Villa Matilde Avallone 2022 Greco di Tufo Tenuta Pietrafusa Daltavilla is a pretty wine that shows the character and clarity of the Greco grape, here lightly complemented by gentle notes of apple, pear and exotic vanilla from a hot vintage. It offers a medium richness and good creaminess with plenty of mineral sensations and a fresh acidity that rounds out the wine." Wine Advocate

What could be better for the Italophile white wine lover than a Greco di Tufo from the hands of the esteemed Piero Mastroberardino. The aroma of white peaches, melon and citrus fruits is inviting. The flavour is generous and typical, soft and mineral, but not heavy - carried by a controlled, lively acidity. SUPERIORE.DE

"A lithe, crisp white, with pretty flavors of ripe apple and pear meeting a tangy streak of pink grapefruit and lively acidity. The lingering finish echoes mineral and herb notes." Wine Spectator

Intense, straw-yellow colour and a complex bouquet in which the aromas of melon and pineapple alternate with spicy notes of camomile, vanilla and nutmeg. On the palate, it is round with a rich texture and the pleasant minerality so typical of the Tufo region. Elegant, long finish with a delicate almond flavour. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw yellow with green reflections. Yellow peach and orange zest on the nose, delicate nuances of dandelion. Yellow-fruity, juicy and fresh on the palate, lively acidity, pleasantly salty on the finish." Falstaff

"The 2022 Greco di Tufo Cutizzi opens with an array of sweet white flowers, chamomile and crushed apples. It balances ripe fruit trees and green melon with salty mineral tones and tantalising acidity. The 2022 finishes with a saline tension and notes of nectarine." Vinous

"Elegant, fresh and dense, with a delicious acidity and a chalky base note that frames flavours of ripe mirabelle plums and nectarines, blanched almonds, aniseed, hyssop and preserved lemon." Wine Spectator

"This is a fine Greco. It's savoury, almondy, quinine, bitter and spicy, while subtly moving into stone fruit territory without going over the top. A tremor of mineral tension and shotgun acidity finds a nervous meeting with a stiff upper lip of richness. Convincing." James Suckling

"The Feudi di San Gregorio 2022 Greco di Tufo Cutizzi is just the ticket for a plate of raw fish with spicy wasabi sauce or tuna tartare. Made only in stainless steel, it has the subtle power and firmness to support generous aromas of pear, quince and honeydew melon. The wine's mineral signature is very developed." Wine Advocate

Alexandros is a beautifully complex and expressive white from Campania. The aromas of light stone fruit, flowers and a fine minerality come together in the harmonious bouquet. Crisp clean taste with a fresh finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Greco di Tufo Alexandros is remarkably beautiful in the glass. An unobtrusive blend of young peach, melon and sweet smoke forms its bouquet. A lively acidity and mineral tones complete the ripe fruit that washes over the palate. The 2022 finishes fresh and medium-length, with lingering notes of candied lime." Vinous

"Vinosity, the highlight. Apricot peel, canned peach, nectarine pulp, tamarind and quince paste. The mid palate, powerful and thoroughly convincing. This is a fine Greco, even in the context of the vintage. It rides a wave of quince paste phenomena as well as the underlying touch of freshness." James Suckling

Generous bouquet of yellow peaches and aniseed. Ripe, yet incredibly fresh fruit on the palate, very harmonious and varied. The long final reveals a mineral note as well as a delicate hint of caramel. A very beautiful interpretation of a Greco di Tufo, you can literally taste the volcanic soil. SUPERIORE.DE

Wonderful cuvée of Greco and Fiano. An opulent potpourri of passion fruit, peach and honeydew melon on the nose. Not too heavy on the palate, but rather prancing and elegant with a wonderfully fresh structure. Beautiful balance, complex and full-bodied finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Here's a fun and versatile unoaked white to bring chilled to an outdoor lunch. A blend of equal parts Fiano and Greco, the Montevetrano 2022 Core Bianco carries a slender approach with enough texture to support fragrant apple, honey and white currant. The wine's aromatic range is very pretty, and the best part is the salty or mineral end note that gives a spark of energy." Wine Advocate

"A lovely blend of fiano and greco here, offering rich aromas of ripe, mixed fruit salad, as well as notes of pressed flowers and minerals. Medium-bodied with an intense palate, including a phenolic note that gives it a structured feel." James Suckling

Campanaro from Fiano and Greco glows in a warm, sunny yellow hue. The bouquet reveals a variety of scents, ripe pear, candied orange peel and fig, followed by honey and hawthorn. The palate presents its rich and round texture as well as a fine pleasant acidity. The underlying mineral content gives the wine fresh highlights and leads to a balanced, wonderful finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas of dried pineapples, mangoes, caramel, grilled herbs and buttered toast. Medium to full body with a creamy, ripe and layered palate. Lots of flavor." James Suckling

"This is a new Riserva expression from Feudi di San Gregorio. The 2020 Fiano di Avellino Riserva Campanaro is beautifully smooth and silky. It presents pretty aromas of Anjou pear, Golden Delicious apple, blanched almond and gentle notes of hay or dried grass. Those fruit tones are capped by crushed stone and chalk." Wine Advocate

Light gold, lots of mineral notes in the nose and fine pear, peach, apple. Lively, fresh and delicate on the palate, racy acid structure, unfolds splendidly, fresh and delicate. This rare drop is one of the best representatives of its grape variety every year. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, light straw yellow. In the nose of fresh honey, green pears, meadow herbs, in the reverberation slightly of peppermint. On the palate racy and powerful, also shows fine phenolic, elegant, seems very pure, with nice length." Falstaff

"This has a pretty nose of white peaches, grapefruits, wild herbs, stones and white flowers. Medium-bodied with crisp acidity and minerally at the end." James Suckling

Feudi di San Gregorio's DUBL project was born in 2004 from an awareness of the great richness of the autochthonous vines of the Irpinia region and the desire to open up new horizons for them: as a Metodo Classico Spumante or by means of the famous Méthode Champenoise. An advisor was quickly found for this - none other than Anselme Selosse, who is known for his champagnes and his feeling for the particularities of the vines and vineyards.

A quarter of the base wines of this top product is aged for 6 months in oak barrels, then the cuvée matures for 2 years in the bottle on the fine lees before it is disgorged. Strong light yellow and a super-fine perlage. On the nose, light fruit, yeasty notes and nuances of fresh bread. On the palate then powerful, fresh, with beautiful spice and a potpourri of stone fruit, fine honey notes and toasted almonds. SUPERIORE.DE

"Complex nose with aromas to sweet lemons, apples, chamomile, grapefruit and toasted notes. Dry on the palate, vibrant and crisp." Decanter

This wonderfully sparkling and fresh wine displays a fine and sharp perlage with pomelo fruit, bitter almond and white peach." Wine Advocate

A quarter of the base wines of this top product is aged for 6 months in oak barrels, then the cuvée matures for 3 years in the bottle on the fine lees before it is disgorged. Strong light yellow and a super-fine perlage. On the nose, light fruit, yeasty notes and nuances of fresh bread. On the palate, powerful, fresh, with a nice spiciness and a potpourri of stone fruit, fine honey notes and toasted almonds. This sparkling wine does not need any dosage at all, it is extremely dry with all its aromatic diversity and for us, with its impressive finish, it is one of the very great Spumanti in Italy.

"The Stilèma project was born as a testimony of Antonio Mastroberardino's love for his land, his vines and his wines, for their original character." Piero Mastroberardino

The project aims to highlight the link between the vines, the wines and their territorial origins. In this way, the Mastroberardino family wants to recreate the style of winemaking of the autochthonous grape varieties of Irpinia (Greco, Fiano and Aglianico) that took place between the end of the 1950s and the beginning of the 1970s of the twentieth century for the Taurasi and between the years 1970 and 1980 for the two white wines from Irpinia. It is the unmistakable style (the stilèma) of a family that has interpreted the natural heritage of its territory over generations and today impressively highlights the genuine character of the terroir, which by no means can be expressed by high concentration and intensity alone.

Stilèma Greco di Tufo Riserva is a blend of grapes from the Montefusco, Tufo and Petruro Irpino vineyards. During the cellar processes, special attention was paid to the malolactic fermentation and the ageing phase, which give the wine density and consistency. Pale straw yellow with greenish reflections. On the nose, notes of ripe fruit, lychee and grapefruit, yellow flowers, dried fruit and figs. Powerful but agile taste with a pronounced salty note, accompanied by a surprising freshness that gives it drinkability and finesse. It closes with a subtle and long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich straw yellow with greenish reflections. In the nose of tropical fruits, lychee and grapefruit, in the aftertaste iodine, flint and slightly herbal, very complex. On the palate filigree, very salty and fresh, drinky, with draught, long and mineral final." Falstaff

"The 2018 Greco di Tufo Riserva Stilèma is rich and sweet-smelling, captivating with a tropical blend of green melon and exotic flowers. On the palate, it flows with a medium-heavy texture that feels silky and shows mineral fruit and savoury spices. The 2018 finishes with admirable depth and concentration, ending with a saline feel and notes of lime and liquid stones. While enjoyable, this wine is still very young and needs further ageing to reveal its hidden charms." Vinous

"Peachy piney notes at the start, evolving into more pronounced notes of fresh white grapes, yellow peaches and minerals on the palate. Medium to full-bodied, bright and concentrated. An interesting and refined Greco." James Suckling

"Here is a new wine from Mastroberardino, and what a charming beauty it is. The 2018 Greco di Tufo Riserva Stiléma takes advantage of the new "Riserva" status and offers us a glimpse into the age-worthiness of Greco. It is a white wine with a soft texture and medium-weight approach. The bouquet shows a filigree of lemon curd, pastry cream, saffron and wet stone." Wine Advocate
