The Greco di Tufo from Lapilli is a tightly packed gift of mineral purity that dances with elegant stone fruit character alongside a dried herb edge. In short, this is a phenomenal drop for the price and a rare find in the Campania region that is known for its premium white wines. Subtle but clear notes of peach and apricot hop out of the glass and they give way to bitter almond and dried sage. The complexity carries onto the palate but here the stone fruits are joined by a steely like undercurrent that weaves beautifully with a soaring acidity and surprising roundness. A lot going on but all in perfect balance that slips down so harmoniously, with the mineral peachy flavours lingering long after your sip. This has the structure to stand up to white meats - grilled chicken breast would be a great pair, as would most shellfish dishes with a subtle sweetness. Read More

This 100% Greco wine comes from the highest vineyards that the Lapilli winery owns, up to 450m above sea level. Grown on the volcanic influenced Tufo soils that are high in limestone, it is the terrain that helps produce concentrated, mineral whites in the region. Of course, the Lapilli family play their part too and they have been growing grapes for wine since the 1960s as part of their small estate. They produce exquisite, varietally typical and regionally representative whites at incredible prices – a combination that isn’t easy to come by in Campania. The Lapilli Greco di Tufo is produced from vines that have an average age of 20 yrs. Thanks to the altitude, the grapes aren’t harvested until the end of October and, following fermentation, the wine spends three months in tank.
Campania is home to some of Italy’s finest whites, this is without question. Rare is it, though, that you encounter a producer making regionally typical, complex and concentrated examples of these esteemed white grapes at incredibly attractive prices! It’s for that reason that we are always chuffed talking about the wines of the family-run Lapilli winery based in the Avellino province. The Lapilli family has been producing wine here since the 1960s and today, they produce under the watchful eye of consultant winemaker Marco Flacco who is well-known for his ability to produce elegant and regionally specific wines.
