Category	White Wine
Varietal	Greco
Brand	Terredora di Paolo
Origin	Italy, Campania, Greco di Tufo

This ancient white wine of the Campania region is made by the Mastroberardino family, of 100% Greco, from a high altitude estate vineyard. The Greco variety was originally cultivated on the slopes of Vesuvius, where it was named Lacryma Christi. It was later planted in Avellino, where they called it Greco di Tufo. Pure, fine and focused, this is a classic example. Green pear, Meyer lemon, white flower, rocky soil, ginger and anise notes are complex and intriguing. Smooth yet energetic, this will be a crowd-pleaser with seafood, white meats and cheeses or as an aperitif.

Terredora Di Paolo is a story of a family that is closely linked to Campania, its land, its history and its people for many generations. The Mastroberardino family is the most famous wine family in this region. With 494 acres of privately owned vineyards in the best sites of the Avellino province, Terredora di Paolo is one of the most important wineries in southern Italy, focusing on vineyards and high quality, authentic wines. Since its establishment in 1978 (when part of the family broke away from the ever-growing Mastroberardino brand), Terredora di Paolo has focused on rediscovering and restoring Campania’s ancient and native varietals such as Aglianico, Fiano, Greco and Falanghina. These varietals are key players that have brought about Campanian’s wine renaissance.

The 2022 Greco di Tufo Loggia della Serra is remarkably pretty, with vivid green melon, lime zest and hints of candied ginger. It splashes across the palate with soft textures and juicy orchard fruits as a tinge of salty minerals comes forward toward the close. Squeaky clean, the 2022 tapers off with medium length, leaving the mouth watering for more.

The unoaked 2022 Greco di Tufo Loggia della Serra shows some hot-vintage heaviness with waxy flavors of honey, acacia, canned peach and persimmon. The impact of those aromas is rather heavy and monochromatic, and the mouthfeel follows closely in theme with creamy texture and extra stuffing. The finish is very dry, but the overall style is slightly oxidative in this 120,000-bottle release.
