Medium bodied, acidic, herbal and slightly sweet, definitely went well with seafood carpaccio. — 3 years ago
Apricot, honeysuckle, minerals. Keeps you coming back for another sip. Still very expressive on day 2. — 6 years ago
Very nice super Tuscan, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon blend. Easy to drink and pares well with pasta, red and white meat and a variety of dishes. Ruby color with pleasant nose and taste of dark cherry. Drank in April 2026. Smooth. — 2 months ago
2021 vintage.
Sangiovese 60 % and Cabernet Sauvignon 40 % from Pitigliano estate in Maremma, Tuscany with a southwest exposure.
Owned by Tommasi family since 1997.
Rompicolla is ‘breakneck’ but means tremendously steep and slippery slope…a risky adventure.
Soils are deep in volcanic tuff.
Stainless steel ferment and matured 1 year in 65 HL Slavonian oak casks.
Red cherries, raspberries, savoury spice, and floral.
Medium bodied but fresh and clean on the finish.
This wine loves food ….and I appreciate that. — 5 months ago
Great Greco. Seriously though I’m surprised by the amount of glass in this bottle. — 2 years ago
Crisp Apple/ Cider taste. — 3 years ago
aroma opens up easily, good amount of fruit followed by crisp acidity. Lingering, mineral and saline finish on the end. Such an yummu juice. — 6 years ago
Best Greco I’ve had, and I’ve had many. This is an amazingly underrated grape, but’s great along, with cheese, or light fare. All I know is that I want to try some of the other obscure Mastrobernardino whites I can’t usually get and in fact have barely heard of. — 6 years ago

Apricot and other orchard fruits. Luscious, fuller bodied, gorgeous. — 3 months ago
Medium straw gold color. Bright aromas of citrus, tropical and stone fruits along with hints of wet stones and fresh herbs. Flavors of lemon, peach and pineapple fruit with additional notes of flint, almonds, dried apricots, white pepper and those fresh herbs. Noticeable minerality on the long and crisp finish. Medium bodied with a slight creamy texture. No sign of oak aging. Elegant, yet quite earthy and versatile. — 9 months ago
Dry. Robust. A little fruity, but not sweet. Hint tobacco. — 2 years ago
Nose is white flowers. Lovely. An elegant perfume.
Palate is a hint of white nectarines. Lemon pith. Very mineral. A hint of salt. Long salty finish. Wow. Killer entry level greco. Killer. — 4 years ago
Acidic, stone, citrus. — 6 years ago

Donnachiara – Greco di Tufo – 2021
Greco di Tufo DOCG – Campania – Italy 🇮🇹
Overview
A more expressive and intense take on Greco di Tufo from the 2021 vintage, showcasing the varietal’s natural structure, depth, and aging potential. This DOCG-level wine leans into richness and tension, delivering a more evolved and character-driven profile.
Aromas & Flavors
Layered and pronounced with ripe stone fruit, citrus peel, and hints of almond and dried herbs. Subtle smoky and mineral nuances reflect the volcanic soils, now slightly more integrated with time.
Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with elevated tension and a textured, almost grippy feel. Bright acidity keeps it lifted, while the added bottle age brings a more rounded, cohesive structure and a long, persistent finish.
Food Pairings
Grilled seafood, roasted chicken, shellfish, creamy pasta dishes, or aged cheeses. Also great with richer Mediterranean flavors.
Verdict
A bold and character-driven Greco di Tufo, expressive, complex, and structured. The 2021 vintage adds a layer of integration and depth, making it both serious and highly rewarding.
Did You Know?
Greco di Tufo is one of Southern Italy’s few white DOCGs and is known for its ability to age, developing nutty, honeyed, and mineral complexity over time.
🍷 Personal Pick
This is my “textured white with presence”, when I want something layered, slightly evolved, and far from simple. Cheers! — 2 months ago
