White Wine Stilèma Taurasi Greco di Tufo.

Stilèma Greco di Tufo DOCG 2017

A Greek that recalls the stylistic features of the great Irpinia whites of the 70s and 80s which marked the consecration of a territorial style and which, at the same time, offers characters of great modernity and extraordinary organoleptic richness. Stilèma Greco di Tufo is the result of an assembly of grapes from the estates of Montefusco, Tufo and Petruro Irpino. In the cellar work, particular attention was paid to the malolactic fermentation and the aging phase, which give the wine density and consistency.
