This exceptional Greco di Tufo comes from the Poggi Reali parcel, where vines grow directly over ancient, abandoned sulfur mines. While most white wines are rushed to market, winemaker Guido Marsella insists on a full two years of aging to allow the intense volcanic character to soften and harmonize. The result is a wine with a unique, smoky mineral personality and a structured feel that is often compared to a fine red wine. It is a brilliant choice for anyone who loves a white wine with real tension and a taste that feels like it was pulled straight from the earth.
