Greco di Tufo DOCG by Cantine di Marzo winery in Avellino area of Campania is made 100% of Greco frape coming from the famous area nearby the town Tufo. The wine is sunlight yellow with golden reflections in the glass. To the nose, a predominance of flint with notes of orange blossom and wild Mediterranean flowers which evolve into more fruity notes with a very discreet trace of eucalyptus. In the mouth the first impact is its freshness sustained by its acidity which underlines its structure. A considerable minerality backs the predominant notes of citrus. There is a pleasant aromatic persistence with a light after-taste of almond and nut. When aged a little the minerality becomes predominant.
Food combinations: its fresh acidity makes it one of the few wines which accompany beautifully our traditional tomato sauce in every form. Ideal with Pizza, pasta with tomato sauce as well as garlic based southern Italian dishes. Also ideal with seafood appetizers and grilled fish such a sea bass. Not to forget the Greco as a classic aperitif, maybe with fried appetizers.
