Current condition
Fresh with developing complexity

The wine's strong acidity and mineral backbone combined with moderate alcohol and high quality of Greco di Tufo from the Terrantica vineyard support a long aging window. The 2022 vintage was favorable for this region, allowing optimal phenolic ripeness balanced by freshness which will maintain freshness while developing complexity for nearly a decade or more.

Food pairing

Pairs excellently with seafood (shellfish, grilled fish), poultry dishes, risotto, light pasta with creamy sauces, and fresh cheeses. Also good with vegetable-based dishes and white meats.
