  Metodo Classico Brut made with 100% Greco, aged for 24 months on the lees before disgorgement. 12,5% alcohol.
  
  Pale whitish-yellow color. Restrained, somewhat sweetish nose with aromas of ripe citrus fruits, some waxy tones, a little bit of hay and light notes of white peach. The wine is dry, ripe and somewhat neutral on the palate with flavors of ripe red apple, some fresh pear a little bit of hay, light autolytic notes of yeast, a hint of stony minerality and a touch of chalky bitterness. The wine is high in acidity with a persistent, creamy mousse. The finish is ripe and dry with moderately long flavors of juicy red apple, some tart citrus fruits, a little bit of hay, light yeasty notes and a hint of pear.
  
  A nice and sophisticated but ultimately somewhat uncharacterful Campanian fizz. Despite its ripe fruit, the wine is wonderfully fresh, precise and mineral for such a southern sparkler, not showing one bit of heaviness or excessive ripeness. However, despite its 5 years of age, the wine shows surprisingly little depth, complexity or sense of evolution. Perhaps the wine will gain some additional complexity with further aging, or then it will just remain quite linear and rather neutral, no matter how old it gets. A good aperitif, but nothing to blow socks off. good value at 16€.

  This is 100 % Greco di Tufo, vintage 2016. Fresh and promising bouquet, the palate is classic and pure with attractive clear-cut fruity flauvors, youthful dry topical fruit, strawberries, nuts, hints of yeast. Great refreshing acidity, nice long mouthwatering aftertaste. Despite the Selosse connection no oxidative features at all. This bubbly from the warm Campania region is more champagne-like than one would expect since fruit is not ripe but fresh and the acidity quite ample. All and all, a charmingly tasty experience and good QPR.
