The Tenute Capaldo 2018 Greco di Tufo Goleto represents the second vintage of this new project started by Feudi di San Gregorio CEO Antonio Capaldo. This is a phenomenal expression of Greco, born from years of experimentation and micro vilifications to isolate the best clones and sites for Greco di Tufo among a vast portfolio of contending vineyards. The wine is glossy and polished with stone fruit, citrus, honey and salty almond. I just love the lasting precision and freshness offered here. ... More details

A new project from Antonio Capaldo (Feudi di San Gregorio) inspired by his in-depth research into the terroirs of Irpinia, sourced from a 2.5ha plot of 25- to 35-year-old vines. This modern interpretation of Greco di Tufo is aged in lightly toasted tonneaux (80%) and amphora (20%) for 12 months, followed by a further 12 months in bottle. Waxy aromas of preserved lemon, candied citrus and summer meadow mingle on the intense, well structured palate. It has a distinct saline frame filled in with lemon and pear and some licks of peach. The dry, tangy mineral finish is perhaps emphasised by the amphora-aged portion.

Aromas of ripe stone fruit, wet stones and cream here, with some brioche. It’s medium-to full-bodied and creamy with plenty of apricot stones, toasted almonds and smoke. Crisp, mineral finish. Drink now.
Winery
Greco grapes originate from selected vines within a 2,5 ha parcel in the San Paolo area – within Tufo town – and namely in the contrade Cicogna, Laura e Nassano. Here the vineyards, over 30 years old, grow near to sulphureous mines and are cultivated following different historic methods, still largely preserved. Harvest is done by hand and generally happens between the first and the second week of October, depending on vintage characteristics. Fermentation happens in stainless steel tanks; then, for the following year, 80% of the cuvee is aged in gently roasted tonneaux and the remaining 20% in amphora. Then, for another year, the wine rests in the bottle before release.

Region: Campania

Campania is a stunning coastal wine region of Italy, home to over a hundred native grape varietals and some of the finest soils and climatic conditions for viticulture on earth. The fine Mediterranean climate crossed with the mineral rich volcanic terroirs produces grapes of exceptional quality and flavor, and as such, Campania has been an important center for wine production for over three thousand years. As one might expect from such an ancient and esteemed wine region, tradition is highly important to the wineries which operate there. Careful attention is paid in order to bring the most representative flavors and aromas out of the grapes, and traditional, time honored techniques are still employed across the region when producing their many highly regarded wines.

Country: Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.
