Vigne Irpine Greco di Tufo 2022

Vigne Irpine Greco di Tufo 2022 is a vibrant and mineral-driven white wine from Campania, Italy, crafted from the Greco grape, one of the region’s most ancient and prestigious varieties. Vigne Irpine, a boutique winery dedicated to showcasing Campania’s unique terroir, produces this Greco di Tufo DOCG, highlighting the high-altitude vineyards and volcanic soils that contribute to the wine’s signature freshness and complexity.

The 2022 vintage experienced a warm yet balanced growing season, allowing for full ripeness while preserving the grape’s natural acidity. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks ensures purity of fruit, while extended lees ageing adds texture and depth.
