Wine Reviews

The Villa Matilde Avallone 2022 Greco di Tufo Tenuta Pietrafusa Daltavilla is a pretty wine that shows the character and clarity of the Greco grape enhanced here lightly by soft hints of apple, pear and exotic vanilla from a hot vintage. It delivers medium richness and good creaminess with lots of mineral sensations and fresh acidity to seal the deal.

The nose is delicate, but doesn’t lack subtlety, as the freshness of citrus blossoms and grapefruit mingles with drier aromas of tea leaves and cumin. That balance continues on the palate, where green apples play with camomile, while accelerating acid recalls the citrus of the nose

The 2023 Greco di Tufo Tenuta Alta Villa slowly emerges from the glass with a sweetly scented yet nuanced bouquet of dried flowers, stone dust and freshly sliced pears. It’s soothingly round and enveloping with silken textures and masses of mineral-laced orchard fruits. Zesty green citrus enlivens the finish as the 2023 leaves a salty tinge to linger, finishing with medium length and crisply refreshing

Fresh and limey citrus with hints of seashell minerality and green apples. Simple but bone-dry and fresh on the medium-bodied palate with a nice phenolic twist and a chalky finish. Drink now.
