Highly stylised flask-shaped bottle. This is very subtle on the nose: more stony/mineral than fruity, and salty too. Very slightly herbal on the nose and palate, but only delicately so, with intense salty purity. There's something close to apricot kernel adding a nutty quality, perhaps some grapefruit and lime zest, but none of these descriptors are quite right. Dry as can be, mouth-watering and that saltiness and stony minerality kick in on the long finish. Never having had this before, I am not sure how it will age but I suspect it will do so very well. The oak barely shows except in a slight creamy richness in the texture, though this is balanced by crisp acidity.

This is so chalky and dusty on the nose with dried lemons and white peaches. Honeysuckle as well. Full- to medium-bodied, with light green apples, flowers and light honey. Yet so mineral and layered. Cashmere texture. Impressive single vineyard greco. Aging beautifully.

Pale golden-tinged yellow. Very gently oaked aromas and flavors of vanilla and nutmeg complement pomaceous orchard fruit and botanical herbs. Closes long and lemony. Made from 60- to 70-year-old 100% Greco vines grown in the commune of Tufo, this is the first vintage of this wine, made by the owner of Feudi di San Gregorio but under a different name. Aged 80% in oak and 20% in amphora. Ought to age fairly well.

With only 5,000 bottles made during this first release from 2017, the wine shines with beautiful luminosity from the inside out. The bouquet is extremely chiseled and fine at this young stage, boasting etched sea breeze and mineral notes that define what we love most about Campania wines. Those aromas are tightly bound and nervous now, and this bodes well for the future evolution of the wine. In my experience, a great Greco (take the Pietracupa 2010 Greco di Tufo G as an example) can hold strong for as much as 20 years. For this reason, I feel confident in recommending a long drinking window.

Delicately scented, this medium-bodied white offers enticing aromas of spring blossom, stone fruit and a whiff of almond. The elegantly structured palate has an understated finesse, offering ripe pear, white peach, Meyer lemon and saline-mineral notes framed in fresh acidity.
