Greco di Tufo DOCG 2022

The Greco di Tufo from Cantine di Marzo shows what Campania has to offer in terms of white wine: substance, freshness, and a minerality that unmistakably smells of the south.

The Cantine di Marzo winery is one of the oldest houses in the region around Tufo, southeast of Naples. The vines grow on the characteristic volcanic tuff soils of the DOCG zone in Irpinia — an altitude that ensures cool nights and slow ripening despite the southern Italian sun. The Greco grape variety has been rooted here since antiquity and gives its most convincing interpretation on these soils.

In the glass, the 2022 vintage shows aromas of lemon zest, white peach, and fresh almonds, underpinned by a fine, almost salty minerality. The palate is juicy with a lively acid structure, the finish dry and persistent. Serving temperature: 10–12 °C.

A classic companion to grilled sea bass, seafood in white wine sauce, or fried zucchini blossoms. Works just as well as an aperitivo with some bruschetta.
