The basis for the balanced Ponte dei Santi Greco di Tufo from Campania is grapes from the Greco Bianco grape variety. The Ponte dei Santi Greco di Tufo is an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, as this Italian wine exudes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underlines the success of wines from the Old World. The ripening of the grapes for this Greco Bianco wine is influenced to a considerable extent by the climate of the growing region. In Campania, the grapes thrive in a warm climate, which is reflected, among other things, in particularly well-ripened grapes and a rather high must weight. After the grape harvest, the grapes are transported to the winery as quickly as possible. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
