 MASTROBERARDINO GRECO DI TUFO

 MASTROBERARDINO GRECO DI TUFO 
sku # 2478811
White Wine Hand-Picked
90 Pts ST <font color = red><strong>90pts Tanzer</strong></font><br><br>Some of my favorite white wines is Greco di Tufo from Campania, Italy and when I can find a good that is not expensive, we have to recommend like this one from one of the great houses of Campania Mastro berardino.<br> Straw-yellow in color, this Greco di Tufo offers intense aromas of apricots and peaches. On the palate, the wine shows great structure and zesty acidity, leaving an overall impression of complexity and elegance. Pairs perfectly with seafood, grilled fish, cold dishes or simply as an aperitif.Hints of citrus, smoke, grapefruit and minerals add complexity on the round finish. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2014.<br><b>Tanzer:</b> Pale straw. Serious, sexy aromas and flavors of poached pear, candied ginger and orange jam. Fat, sweet and suave, with enticing firming acidity giving shape to the wine. Plenty of stuffing here for an entry-level greco. Finishes minerally, spicy and persistent, with good spine and verve.<br>Greco di Tufo is a DOCG of the Campania wine region in southern Italy. It is arguably the region's most prestigiuous white wine, and is made predominantly from the grape variety which shares its name. The Greco di Tufo grape variety is a clone of Greco Bianco and was apparently brought to Campania by the Pelasgians, an ancient Greek people from Thessaly. The name Tufo refers not only to one of the villages from which the wine comes, but also the type of rock on which the village was built.<br>The best expression of the Greco di Tufo vine is found on the volcanic hills of the Avellino province in central Campania, and only eight villages can legally claim to make Greco di Tufo: Tufo, Montefusco, Petruro Irpino, Chianche, Torrioni, Altavilla, Irpina and Prata di Principato Ultra.<br>Greco di Tufo wines stand out from the crowd thanks to the unique characteristics of the sulfur- and tufa-rich volcanic and clay soils; it is believed that these lend the wine its perfume and mineral complexity. The refreshing, crisp white wines are known for their aromatic notes of lemons, pears and toasted almonds, and a lingering mineral finish.<br> Excellent with seafood, grilled fish, poultry, cold dishes and as an aperitif.
