Cantine di Marzo Colle Serrone Greco Di Tufo 2021
Greco di Tufo DOCG Colle Serrone by Cantine di Marzo winery in Avellino area of Campania is made 100% of Greco frape coming from a small Cru vineyard Colle Serrone in the famous area nearby the town ‘Tufo’.
This white wine is straw-yellow, with aromas of flint and fresh sea breezes. It is full and intense on the palate with pure citrus fruit, lime, ripe herb and mineral flavours. A wine with great finesse and length that goes well with fish and seafood dishes.
The soil is a mixture of clay and limestone. Natural richness of sulfur and careful selection of only the best bunches of grapes allows to achieve high quality of the wine. This unique vineyard paints an exquisite portrait of the Greco grape variety.
Wine production is limited to just 5000 bottles per annum.
How is the wine made?
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.
