Name of Wine: Greco di Tufo 2007

Producer: Angelarosa

Summary: An exhilarating Greco di Tufo with all the raciness that the variety can offer. A small percentage of Coda di Volpe adds a spicy snap and more golden color. A wine we call "compulsively drinkable" - you can't stop sipping because its complexity of flavors and aromas is fascinating
