Territory and wine style

The Greco di Tufo DOCG designation represents one of the most recognizable expressions of Irpinia, an area suited for the production of whites with a tense, mineral profile and strong identity. In this case, the wine comes from the Giallo d’Arles vineyard in Tufo, and interprets the Greco grape with a deeper and more enveloping style compared to many immediate and vertical interpretations. The brief aging in small oak barrels, combined with the absence of clarification, contributes to providing greater volume, visual richness, and complexity to the sip, without sacrificing the freshness typical of the denomination.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense yellow-gold hue, consistent with the nature of the grape and the character of the wine. On the nose, sensations of apricot, quince jam, and a pronounced mineral imprint emerge, elegantly accompanying the bouquet. On the palate, it is full, fresh, and structured, with a broad yet balanced flavor profile. The savory component and aromatic depth support a long, refined finish that evolves progressively, capable of offering ever-new nuances as time passes in the bottle.

Recommended pairings

Giallo d’Arles is a white wine of great versatility at the table, particularly suitable for structured fish dishes, shellfish, pasta dishes with seafood, and rich but not overly fatty Mediterranean cuisine preparations. It also pairs well with white meats, mushrooms, flavorful vegetables, and semi-hard aged cheeses. Its depth makes it interesting even with more complex recipes, where body, freshness, and a mineral backbone are needed to cleanse the palate.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate Giallo d’Arles 2023, it is recommended to serve it at a temperature between 12 and 14 °C. If opened young, it can benefit from a few minutes of aeration in the glass or decanter, allowing the aromatic profile and richness of the sip to express themselves more fully.
