Greco di Tufo is one of those wines that makes you stop and think. There’s a clean, salty freshness here that reminds us of seaside lunches, the kind where the breeze carries scents of lemon, rock, and herbs.
This bottle from Fattoria Pagano captures that feeling perfectly. It’s crisp and elegant, but never too sharp. That hint of almond on the finish? It’s like a quiet wink that makes you want another sip.
We love it with crudo (raw), grilled squid, or even a slice of young pecorino. But honestly, it’s the kind of wine you want around anytime something fresh and simple hits the table. No fuss, just flavour.
Fattoria Pagano
The journey began in 2001, when Antonio Pagano, together with his son Angelo, pursued a dream: to introduce the world to Falerno del Massico. This wine descends from Falernian Wine, the legendary Roman red wine, once considered the finest of antiquity.
Fattoria Pagano is dedicated to preserving this millennia-old tradition, producing wines that embody the history and excellence of the region.
Their philosophy is simple: bring wine as close as possible to nature. This commitment translates into sustainable viticulture, respecting the soil, microclimate, and biodiversity. The result? Wines that truly express the vineyard’s essence.
For them, harvest time is a celebration—a moment of joy and tradition, deeply rooted in Campania’s culture.
Greco di Tufo
Greco di Tufo is a white wine from the province of Avellino, in Campania, southern Italy. Made primarily from Greco grapes, it stands out for its personality and distinctive character.
It usually displays an intense straw-yellow colour, sometimes with greenish reflections. On the nose, it offers a complex and enveloping bouquet with notes of citrus, white flowers, peach, and pear.
On the palate, it is dry, but often shows a pleasant softness. Its bright acidity brings freshness and vibrancy. Typical flavours include lemon, grapefruit, and hints of almond and minerality.
Greco di Tufo is known for its aging potential, developing deeper complexity and aromas over time. Elegant, refined, and well-balanced, it’s a wine that offers both character and versatility.
It pairs beautifully with seafood, but also with fish-based dishes, fresh vegetables, light white meat recipes, and medium-aged cheeses.
