Quintodecimo Giallo d'Arles Greco di Tufo 2013
Campania, ItalyThere are seven types of the ancient variety greco in Italy, all of which are rich in polyphenols and anthocyanins, and resulting in a white wine with an unusually golden yellow and light tannins. Certainly evident here in this striking example, with a shining gold hue leading to light honey, quince, wild herbs, ample salts and broken stone. Great concentration on the expansive palate, all pinned with lovely refreshing acidity and tucked with that fine grip of tannins. Organically farmed fifteen year old vines from a clay soiled single vineyard at 520m ferment in small oak and stainless steel (30/70) for a month before resting on fine lees in larger vessels for seven months. Quintodecimo is an exciting advocate for native grapes of Campania, and his wines worth seeking out.Tasted: 05 April 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $61.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
