A Greco that evokes the stylistic traits of the great Irpinia whites of the 1970s and 1980s that marked the consecration of a territorial style, while at the same time offering characters of great modernity and extraordinary organoleptic richness. Stilèma Greco di Tufo is the result of a blend of grapes from the Montefusco, Tufo and Petruro Irpino estates. In the cellar processes, special attention was paid to the malolactic fermentation and the aging phase, which give the wine density and texture.
Tasting Notes.: Pale straw yellow with greenish reflections. The olfactory profile shows notes of ripe fruit, lychee and grapefruit, yellow flowers, dried fruit, figs and herbs, wet stone, oysters, brackish notes, sensations reminiscent of limestone, with pronounced smoky nuances. Firm but agile flavor, with a pronounced saline note, accompanied by a surprising freshness, giving it drinkability and finesse. Closes with subtle and long persistence.
Pairings: Starters: Fish soups, legume soups, shellfish dishes, smoked salmon, cheeses. First courses: Pasta or risottos with seafood or based on legumes and vegetables. Main courses: White meats, shellfish, fried fish and vegetable dishes, fresh or soft cheeses.
