.Volcanic, vibrant and beautifully refined.  Greco di Tufo at its purest!

Tasting Notes

Straw yellow with golden hues. Flint and orange blossom, with wild Mediterranean flowers on the nose. As the wine breathes, lime and citrus aromas develop. To taste, this is an intense, mineral dry white wine with refreshing citrus fruit.  The flavours linger long after the wine has left your mouth, leaving delicious nuances of almond, eucalyptus and bitter lemon.

Production

Only the first pressing of the grapes is used for our Cantina’s signature Greco. This free run juice is the best possible and it is fermented with great care using selected yeasts, in temperature controlled tanks. The wine rests on the lees for six months to add structure and complexity. Malolactic conversion is partial depending on the natural acidity of the vintage. Before bottling, the wine is lightly filtered and stored at cellar temperature until we judge it to be ready for the market.

Producer

We’re proud of a choice that defines our Greco di Tufo: we use only grapes from our own vineyards in San Paolo and Santa Lucia, two of the three hamlets surrounding the heart of Tufo.

While many producers rely on purchased fruit, we’ve chosen a different path. We don’t buy a single grape from third parties. Our limited production is intentional — it allows us to maintain complete control over every stage of the process.

If our quantities shift from year to year, it’s simply because nature doesn’t follow a standardised script. Some vintages shine more brightly than others, and we embrace that. It’s part of the authenticity we believe in.

With an annual production of about 120,000 bottles, the Cantine di Marzo still maintains the character of a small family-run company, whose wines, however, are present in more than 12 countries around the world.
