Stilema Greco Di Tufo DOCG Riserva 2018 Winery Mastroberardino

Stilèma Greco di Tufo DOCG 2018 Riserva

The Stilèma Greco di Tufo DOCG 2018 Riserva embodies the oenological rebirth of the great whites of Irpinia of the 70s and 80s, combining territorial tradition with extraordinary modernity and organoleptic richness. This wine, the result of a careful blend of grapes from the Montefusco, Tufo and Petruro Irpino estates, is a true jewel of Campania viticulture.

Terroir and Winemaking

The vineyards, with an average age of 20 years, are located on clayey soils derived from sandstone and marl, enriched by limestone. This composition, combined with the hilly-mountain microclimate, enhances the acidity, freshness and elegance of Greco. The grapes are harvested manually in mid-October, ensuring perfect maturation and concentration of aromas. The classic vinification in steel, at a controlled temperature, is followed by refinement on whole fermentation lees for approximately 18 months, improving the flavor and longevity of the wine. A small part, around 7%, ferments and matures in non-first passage barriques for 12 months, adding complexity and nuances to the taste profile.

Sensory Profile

Stilèma Greco di Tufo has an elegant pale straw yellow color, embellished with greenish reflections. On the nose, the olfactory profile is broad and complex, with notes of ripe fruit, litchi, grapefruit, yellow flowers and dried fruit, accompanied by hints of figs, aromatic herbs, wet stone, oysters and brackish notes, which recall limestone. In the mouth, the wine is decisive but agile, characterized by a pronounced saline note and a surprising freshness, which enhance its drinkability and finesse. The closure is subtle and long lasting.

Perfect in combination with fish soups, legumes, shellfish, smoked salmon and cheeses, as well as pasta, seafood risottos, white meats, fried fish and vegetables, and fresh or soft cheeses. Greco di Tufo "Stilèma" is a wine that offers a unique sensorial experience and lends itself to a variety of gastronomic combinations.
