Vesevo Greco di Tufo DOCG

Vesevo Greco di Tufo DOCG

Lemon-gold in colour with an intense, aromatic perfume of ripe pears with honeyed, almond notes. On the palate, this wine has stone fruit flavours of yellow peaches, a crisp, mineral character and good body on the finish. Serve with fish dishes, white meats, poultry.

The flavours obtained in the vineyard are then preserved in the winery. The must is chilled immediately and fermented at 13°-14°C rather than the higher fermentation temperatures (18-20°C) prevalent in Italy. The wine remains in stainless steel tank until bottling, sees no oak and does not undergo malolactic fermentation. This results in much purer flavours being captured in the wine.

The Vesevo vineyards are situated 450-550 metres above sea level and are always subject to a cool breeze that blows off the Bay of Naples. This same breeze has, over the centuries, blown volcanic ash from Vesuvius inland to give the soil here a volcanic character, rich in minerals and trace elements.
