Product Details

Varietal White Wine
Region Campania
Country Italy
Producer Tenute Capaldo
ABV 13.0%
Size 750ml

This exceptionally complex Greco showcases aromas of oak, toasted hazelnut and wet stone. The linear palate evokes yellow-apple skin, saline and a dollop of vanilla alongside racy acidity.

The Greco Grapes originate from selected vines within a 6 acre parcel in the San Paolo area within the town of Tufo. Here the vineyards are over 30 years old and grow near sulphureous mines. They are cultivated following different historic methods of the region. Harvest is done by hand and generally happens between the first and the second week of October, depending on the vintage characteristics. Fermentation happens in stainless steel tanks; then the following year 80% of the cuvee is aged in gently toasted large tonneaux oak barrels and the remaining 20% in amphora. Afterwards the finished wine is aged in bottle for an additional year before release.

This wine sources its fruit from the same Nassano site that Feudi di San Gregorio uses in their Feudi Studi series. The Tenute Capaldo 2019 Greco di Tufo Goleto is a large-scale white wine with an important sense of volume and depth. Some 80% of the wine is aged in tonneaux and 20% in amphorae. Indeed, Greco seems to enjoy a much better oxygen exchange in amphorae compared to Fiano (which tends to oxidize). Showing considerable volume, texture and medium fruit weight, this wine reveals oak spice, classic baking spices, soft peach and poached pear.

A rich white, sleek and harmonious, in a medium-bodied frame. Shows a subtle, round fleshiness to the ripe yellow melon and apricot fruit, vanilla and crushed hazelnut flavors, but a racy streak of acidity lends fine definition, while accents of fresh thyme, verbena and stone add greater detail. Fresh, salty finish. Drink now through 2028.
