About Mastroberardino 2022 Greco di Tufo
The Mastroberardino family, leaders in Italian viticulture, are largely responsible for the revival and elevation of Irpinian and Campanian winemaking post WWII. Their efforts ignited a resurgence in quality red and white wine production in all of Southern Italy. Working primarily with Campania’s ancient, native varietals, Fiano, Greco, and Aglianico, Mastroberardino has resuscitated would-be extinct grapes into world class varieties.
The ancient Greco Bianco grape, of which Greco is a clone, was brought to the province of Avellino dai Pelagi in Campania, from Thessaly in Greece, in the first century BC. Perhaps the most prestigious clone, Greco di Tufo, is named after the town of Tufo in Avellino, where the grape thrives. Tufo refers to the soft, volcanic rock that makes up the subsoil of the region, which imparts minerality to the wine’s profile. Greco di Tufo is one of the few white varieties with the ability to age.
Fresh and lively, this Greco di Tufo sees only stainless steel to preserve its ripe fruit flavors. Straw Yellow. Complex aromas of citrus fruits, peach, pineapple, apricot and lime. Structured and elegant on the palate, with lovely minerality. Pair with fried seafood and baked fish, chicken and grilled vegetables.
Wine Enthusiast scored this 92 points saying, "A very savory nose of crisp leather and mixed spices and herbs draws levity from undertones of dandelion and lemon. That citrus stream becomes a river on the palate, but a lingering, slightly spicy earthiness keeps you on your toes until a sweet, iced-tea finish."
James Suckling also scored this 92 points saying, "Aromas of matchstick and pumice with some white pepper undertones. Almonds, sliced apples and limes. Medium body, creamy texture and a soft yet fresh finish. You can really taste the volcanic soil in this."
