Vesevo Greco di Tufo 2022

Vesevo is situated in the Irpinian hills of Campania. Known as the ‘Switzerland of the South’, this is one of Italy’s most exciting wine-producing areas. The vineyards, planted between 450 and 700 metres above sea level, are subjected to a constant cool breeze that blows off the Bay of Naples. Over the centuries, this same breeze has blown volcanic ash from Mount Vesuvius inland, giving the soil here a poor, volcanic character.

The vineyards are in the centre of the Greco di Tufo DOCG at 400-550m above sea level.  Cool breezes aid freshness but also blow volcanic ash from Vesuvius onto the soil.  Cool fermentation temperatures, and no malolactic fermentation ensure the intense fruity, nutty flavours and oily texture are balanced by refreshing acidity, with a beautiful finish.
