Description:

The Greco di Tufo has long been considered the most prestigious wine of Campania, serving as the flagship of Cantina Sanpaolo and its commitment to sustainable viticulture that enhances the varietal and identity flavors of the grapes. In the glass, it presents a straw-yellow color with golden flashes, radiant and inviting. The nose offers broad initial notes of peach and medlar, layered with cedar, ginger, and elegant hints of hazelnut, wild mint, sage, white pepper, vanilla, chalk, and herbaceous greens. On the palate, it is structured with pronounced acidity and a deliciously savory taste. Balanced and persistent. Ideal for vegetables, delicate pasta dishes, seafood, white meats, and mildly aged cheeses. Perfect pairing: Paccheri pasta with artichoke carbonara.

Awards:

Gambero Rosso Vini d'Italia 2024: 2 Glasses
"Very good, spicy, smoky, rich on the palate's attack, very pleasant."

Bibenda 2024: 4 Bunches
"From its straw yellow color, it opens up to the olfactory senses with rounded aromas of white peach, ripe pineapple, and yellow melon, extending to floral hints of chamomile and orange blossom. On the palate, it is elegant and consistent with the nose, well-balanced and with good persistence."
