TENUTA RUSSOBRUNO GRECO DI TUFO 2022

Style: Rocks & Minerals

Roberta Russo and Marco Bruno purchased an old vineyard in Tufo with one clear goal in mind, to make great Greco. They enlisted Campanian specialist Vincenzo Mercurio and made their first wine in 2013. Today, there are four hectares under vine and the vineyards are all farmed organically.

Greco is one of Italy¿s most important grapes and, in true Italian style, the grape can also be one of the most confusing, with a large family of Greco wines produced throughout southern Italy. But it is in the village of Tufo, which lends its name to the wine, and the surrounding area where Greco really established its reputation as one of the best whites of the peninsula. Compared to its Avellino neighbour, Fiano, Greco is typically more structured and a little higher in alcohol, although altitude plays a key role in this somewhat difficult variety. TREMBATH & TAYLOR IMPORTER

At RussoBruno the vineyards are grown at 500-600 metres in volcanic soils with a high presence of sulphur. This combination produces a minerally and flinty Greco, with delicate herbal notes, white flowers and hints of stone fruit.
