The Greco di Tufo Riserva "Terrantica" White Label 2022 from I Favati is a work of absolute winemaking precision, crafted by the expertise of Rosanna Petrozziello and Giancarlo Favati. This Riserva was created to show that Greco, when grown in the high hill vineyards of Santa Lucia di Serino and Tufo, can reach levels of complexity comparable to the world's great white wines. The 2022 vintage provided a raw material of great concentration, which the Favati family skillfully tamed through extended aging. On the nose, it is a concert of rare elegance: clear notes of yellow peach, pink grapefruit, and ginger merge with deep hints of chalk dust, broom flowers, and a mineral trail reminiscent of sulfur and graphite.On the palate it is sumptuous and vibrant; the entry is direct, dominated by a dense and savory body that stretches towards an endless finish, characterized by a citrusy freshness and an endless aromatic persistence, reflecting an aristocratic acidity.
