  Intenso sin dal colore, al naso si susseguono frutti esotici, mango, ananas; poi pesca a pasta gialla, miele di tiglio, zucchero a velo, petali di rose; infine erbe aromatiche mediterranee, timo e salvia.
  Che sapidità in bocca! Succoso, gustosissimo, salmastro con una verve acida formidabile, minerale, lungo e persistente.
  Un Greco di Tufo semplicemente eccellente.
  Q/p ottimo (13,9 euro)

  I bought a bottle of this and the Fiano to try out this producer and likely drank the Fiano too soon (it was good but not especially memorable). I generally prefer Fiano over Greco, but this bottle was terrific. Lots of mineral and pear, medium body, and crisp. A thumbs up and Pietracupa is definitely on the list for its whites.

  Popped and poured, then followed over three days.
  Straw yellow, clear.
  1. day: sweet citron, fresh, sour, and also sweet brioche. Beguiling. Less sweet and less expressive on day 2 and 3, but still fine.
  On the palate fresh, with body, but immediately compensated by the acidity. Flavours mirror the nose aromas, a bit of sweetness, citrus fruit, but also very mineral. Very tense finish. Beautiful.
  It lost precision and complexity on day 2 and 3.

  Shy nose, but apples, lime and great acidity on the palate, refreshing and great to drink, very good.
