Poggio delle Baccanti Campania Greco 2023

Poggio delle Baccanti Campania Greco 2023
Campania is quietly one of Italy’s best regions for white wine, and one of the reasons for this bounty is the Greco grape, native to the mountains of Irpinia and the village of Tufo. This wine is what happens when Greco takes a vacation to the beach. The La Mura family...two Raffaeles, a Paolo and a Giovanni, make a range of biodynamically farmed, naturally made wines on the Sorrento Peninsula, just over the mountains from Amalfi. If you have had Greco di Tufo before, you will love the aromas of orange cobbler, tangerine, pineapple and asian pear, all dashed with a bit of sea salt wafting off the Bay of Naples. The palate is just as lush with ripe tangerine, key lime and strawberry mixed with slate-like minerality. Like many of the best Campanian white wines, this one has a creamy texture tempered by vigorous acidity. If you haven’t had Greco before, this would be an excellent place to start. Pair with lemon pasta, anchovies, scallops, or prosciutto.
