$48.00
Description
"The 2022 Greco di Tufo is charming in the glass, wafting up with a refreshing blend of yellow flowers and ginger-tinged crushed apples. It’s soft and round in character, with zesty acidity that adds tension as crips orchard fruits cascade throughout. This finishes on a slightly tropical note without losing refinement, as sweet spice notes gradually fade. Drink: 2023 - 2026" - 89 Points, Vinous.com
