Greco di Tufo Riserva Vittorio 2010 Di Meo 75 cl

Description

History

The goal of the three brothers is to create wines using the most common native varieties in Irpinia, such as Fiano, Greco, Aglianico and Coda di volpe, in order to enhance the rich heritage of inherited cultural traditions. They proceeded with planting the vineyards and in 1986 introduced their first wines, giving life to the Di Meo winery. While the Irpinia wine industry was experiencing a phase of significant growth, with the recognition of the three DOCGs for Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo and Taurasi, together with a notable growth in the production of high quality wines, the project Di Meo’s winemaking business has evolved rapidly. The property, once owned by the Caracciolo Princes, is located in a hilly area with gentle slopes and a dominant view of an evocative hunting lodge dating back to 1700.

Tasting notes

Golden yellow. On the nose, a delicate bouquet of cedar, rennet apple and propolis. Mineral hints of flint and slate also emerge, with a slight hint of hydrocarbon notes. The palate offers an enveloping and warm sensation, with a remarkable balance, supported by adequate acidity and minerality.

Possible combinations

Excellent with second courses of white meat and/or baked or grilled fish. Ideal with dishes such as sushi and sashimi, pumpkin and taleggio risotto, or salmon and potato croquettes.
