Greco di Tufo DOCG
Come si dice? Tap the speaker next to a name to hear it in Italian. AI voice.
No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.
The bigger, more muscular sibling of Fiano di Avellino, from vines above old sulfur mines. Greco gives a full-bodied white with high acidity and real grip: ripe peach, quince, bitter almond, lemon peel and a sulfurous, smoky mineral streak, with a broad, almost tannic texture and a long, saline finish. Youthful examples can taste hard and closed; the best open up after three to five years into something like a southern Chablis with more weight. It's a fish-stew and roast-pork white rather than an aperitif.

If you make Greco di Tufo, import it, or know who does, the form takes two minutes and I reply to every one.
