The wine region of Greco di Tufo
DOCG of Campania on volcanic tufa soils around Avellino (Irpinia). Greco flagship white: ample and mineral with notes of pear, yellow peach, citrus, toasted almond, white flowers and volcanic smoky touch, taut and long palate — one of the greatest whites of southern Italy, capable of aging. Deep golden yellow robe, sustained alcohol. Continental altitude climate, rare sulfurous soils.
The wine region of Campania
Cradle of southern Italy's great wines on volcanic soils. Majestic Aglianico in red: structured, deep and tannic with notes of black cherry, candied plum, leather and spices, sublimated in age-worthy Taurasi DOCG, the "Barolo of the south". Identity whites of Irpinia: opulent Fiano di Avellino (honey, hazelnut), mineral iodine Greco di Tufo, aromatic Falanghina (peach, flowers). Also supple Piedirosso.
The word of the wine: Extraction
All the methods (pumping over, punching down) that allow the colour and tannins to be extracted from the grape skin during maceration, before fermentation begins. It is also possible to macerate after fermentation, but gently, so as not to extract the tannins from the seeds, which are greener. Because of its solvent power, alcohol favours extraction.
