WINE DESCRIPTION
Antica Hirpinia Greco di Tufo is a distinguished white wine originating from the Greco di Tufo appellation in Italy, renowned for its volcanic soil rich in sulfur and clay. Produced under meticulous care, the vines are trained using the Guyot method and thrive at an elevation of 1,968 feet with an eastern to northeastern exposure. Harvested during the first week of October, the grapes undergo fermentation in cement containers for 7-10 days, preserving their distinct flavors. This Greco di Tufo ages gracefully for 6 months in cement before bottling, followed by an additional 3 months in bottle, allowing it to develop a refined complexity. The result is a wine characterized by a crisp acidity, minerality, and a bouquet of citrus and floral notes, making Antica Hirpinia Greco di Tufo a superb example of Italian winemaking tradition and terroir expression.
