Tenuta Cavalier Pepe, Greco di Tufo DOCG (Campania, Italy) 2016

Nov 21, 2019

By Michael Apstein

 Greco di Tufo is one of Italy’s great white wines.  This one has slightly nutty nuances and the hint of lava-like mineral notes you’d expect from its location near Mount Vesuvius.  Bright and enlivening acidity tingles the palate.  It screams for linguine and clam sauce.  Just don’t overchill it or you lose the wine’s complexities and charms.
