Tenute Capaldo Greco de Tufo "Goleto" Campania Italy, 2019, 750
92 WS
"A rich white, sleek and harmonious, in a medium-bodied frame. Shows a subtle, round fleshiness to the ripe yellow melon and apricot fruit, vanilla and crushed hazelnut flavors, but a racy streak of acidity lends fine definition, while accents of fresh thyme, verbena and stone add greater detail. Fresh, salty finish. Drink now through 2028."

Winery Notes:
"Greco grapes originate from selected vines within a 2,5 ha parcel in the San Paolo area – within Tufo town – and namely in the contrade Cicogna, Laura e Nassano. Here the vineyards, over 30 years old, grow near to sulphureous mines and are cultivated following different historic methods, still largely preserved. Harvest is done by hand and generally happens between the first and the second week of October, depending on vintage characteristics. Fermentation happens in stainless steel tanks; then, for the following year, 80% of the cuvee is aged in gently roasted tonneaux and the remaining 20% in amphora. Then, for another year, the wine rests in the bottle before release."
