Calafe
Ariavecchia Greco di Tufo
Tufo, Avellino, Campania, Italy
Awesome nose of apricot, grass, wet field, spice, and superb minerality. Palate is such and so elegant with terrific apricot fruit and extract. Really, fresh, precise and focused. A rainwater like finish. Gorgeous purity. Needs air to express itself as the finish while long is attenuated.

Concentrated, deep and very complex with just amazing structure and depth. Greco di Tufo Grand Cru here. The finish has substance and length. Really stays with you. What power and material here. Just an incredible wine. The score may go up.
Nose now has dried fruit. Apricot. Peach. Crystalline in its purity. This has aspects of Savoie whites, N Rhone whites and white Burgundy. It’s so unique.

Fresh cut hay, apricot, green plum, honey, a hint of lily, crisp with a sweet lactic body and a really savory complex finish. Mineral. Wonderful complexity and length for a crisp white wine.

Enjoyed but definitely not my usual style of white. Quite full bodied and almost rich, but not at all cloying. Lots of minerality, some saltiness. Less acid on the finish than I was hoping, but still a nice long finish.

Certainly never had Greco di Tufo in this form…saline, mineral, and an incredible richness & density that recalls a fine meursault. 😍
