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 may well be Italy's oldest wine region, with a history which spans over three thousand years and has endured throughout the rising and falling of empires. Today, the region's wine industry is as strong as ever, and consistently producing excellent wines of character and distinction, thanks to the dedication the wineries of Campania have for quality over quantity, and the love they have for their traditions and time honored practices. Of course, the region is helped enormously by the ideal climatic conditions it receives on the west coast of Italy, and the fact that the soils of Campania could be amongst the finest on earth for viticulture. For thousands of years, Campania has been the beating heart of the Italian wine industry, and this is one thing which is unlikely to change any time soon.

Country: Italy

For several decades in the mid to late twentieth century, Italy's reputation for quality wines took a fairly serious blow. This was brought about partly due to lack of regulation in certain regions, and too much regulation in others. This led to several wineries in the beautiful and highly fertile region of Tuscany making the bold move to work outside of the law, which they saw as responsible for the drop in quality in Tuscan wines. They believed that they had the expertise and the generations of experience necessary with which to make truly excellent, world class wines, and set about doing just that. These 'Super Tuscans', as they came to be known, quickly inspired the rest of Italy to improve their produce, and now, Italian wine producers in the twenty-first century are widely recognised to be amongst the best in the world. Regulation and law began to change, and wine drinkers across the globe woke up to the outstanding wines coming out of Italy, which are continuing to improve and impress to this day.
