Greco di Tufo "Ponte dei Santi" DOCG - Villa Raiano Winery

Greco di Tufo is a small denomination, but there are countless micro-territorial differences. In the upper part of the Ponte dei Santi hamlet in the municipality of Altavilla Irpina in the province of Avellino, there is our 1.3 hectare Greco vineyard at 550 meters above sea level where we grow the grapes that we use to produce this Greco di Tufo "Ponte dei Santi" DOCG wine. The vinification takes place entirely in steel vats and then refines on the fine lees for 12 months in the same vinification vats and 12 months in the bottle.
