🍋 Fresh, Mineral, and Uniquely Age-Worthy

🍷 In the Glass
Intense, compact straw yellow—brilliant and inviting.
👃 On the Nose
Characterful and expressive, with notes of green apple, jasmine, cedar, and wild honey, layered over hints of menthol and saline minerality. With age, fascinating hydrocarbon nuances develop.
🥂 On the Palate
Full and fresh, with a broad, textured mouthfeel. Bright acidity balances a long, persistent, and distinctly savoury finish.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Versatile and food-friendly: excellent with risottos, white meats, and fish—try with lentil and shrimp soup, roasted turbot with potatoes, or herbed cheeses after a few years of cellaring. Fried octopus, cod, or artichoke risotto are also superb matches.
⏳ Ageing Potential
Enjoy young for its primary aromas, or cellar for 5–10 years to unlock deeper, evolved complexity.
💫 Why You’ll Love It
Villa Raiano’s Greco di Tufo is a benchmark of its kind—intensely flavoured, deeply mineral, and capable of surprising elegance and depth as it matures. A truly distinctive southern Italian white.
