Benito Ferrara
Terra d'Uva Greco di Tufo
Tufo, Avellino, Campania, Italy
The 2021 Greco di Tufo Terre d'Uva opens with a bouquet of tropical green melon, exotic florals and a spritz of lime. This is texturally deep, almost oily in feel, balanced by saline-minerals and crisp green apple. The Terre d'Uva finishes with a bitter tension, pinching at the cheeks with sour citrus while leaving the mouth watering for more. This zesty Greco will win a lot of hearts.

Jun 15th, 2023Sweet melon, yellow flowers and hints of young mango create an alluring bouquet as the 2019 Greco di Tufo Terra d'Uva opens in the glass. This is rich, creamy and decadent in feel, balanced by bright acidity and citrus-tinged apples and pears. For all of its extroverted personality, the Terra d'Uva tapers off wonderfully fresh, leaving hints of tropical fruit to linger. (Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2022)

Even Ferrara’s second Greco is pretty stellar. Showing plenty of layered complexity on day two

Jul 15th, 2020Vivid straw in color, Ferrara’s 2017 Greco di Tufo Terra d'Uva is laced with suggestions of lemon zest, white peach and ripe apricot. Rich and dense, but very nicely delineated, with vibrant, harmonious acidity providing lift on the long, mineral finish, the 2017 has plenty of early appeal. $23.00 (Ian D'Agata, Vinous, November 2018)

Lady winemakers during the “Formation” themed month at a Maxwell!! 👯♀️💕 Apparently the soil on this vineyard is so sulfuric that it’s lime green. Wild! Crisp and acid but still round and well balanced

Every time I have this I’m struck by the clear crisp citrus. So drinkable. Cuts through rich pasta meals like a dream.

Initial impressions were light on palate and heavy on minerality. I thought it was warm/ripe like Greece, but felt like loire sauv Blanc. Turns out it was Italian. First time having this grape.

Tastes like Clay’s speech on ending systemic oppression in education through the lens of mental of health.

Jan 21st, 2023Really love this complex and rich palette. Cantaloupe and citrus fruit plus mineral up front. Dry semi-sweet and tart finish.
