Greco di Tufo Riserva Miniere 2022, Cantine Dell'Angelo
A monumental white for territorial rigor and mineral charisma. The olfactory profile alternates sulfurous and hydrocarbon notes with yellow fruits of extreme refinement. On the palate, it is dense, sapid, and characterized by a masterful balance between acidic drive and saline trail. A stylistic statement that represents the purest and most ancestral essence of Tufo.
Greco di Tufo Riserva Miniere 2022, Cantine Dell'Angelo
The Greco di Tufo Riserva "Miniere" 2022 from Cantine dell'Angelo is the liquid expression of the Tufo terroir, a wine that accepts no compromises. Angelo Muto, caretaker of vineyards that rest directly atop the ancient sulfur mines, produces a Greco of almost violent verticality and moving beauty. The 2022 vintage, although warm, delivered an extraordinary saline concentration in this plot. On the nose, it is a symphony of rare elegance: clear notes of struck match, hydrocarbon, and sulfur dust blend with deep hints of ripe medlar, wild herbs of the Mediterranean scrub, ginger, and a mineral trail reminiscent of flint and chalk. On the palate, it is sumptuous with tension; the entry is direct, dominated by dense and savory matter that stretches toward an infinite, saline finish with endless aromatic persistence, marked by an aristocratic almond-like closure.
