The Cutizzi bottling takes its name from a single vineyard site situated between 1,400 and 2,300 feet in elevation — the word \"Tufo\" itself refers to the soft volcanic tuff rock that dominates the subsoil where Greco thrives. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 16–18°C, followed by four to five months of aging on the fine lees with repeated bâtonnage, a technique that builds texture and complexity without masking the grape's mineral character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose opens with ripe pear and green apple before moving into apricot, white blossoms, and a distinctive earthy note of turf. Subtle hints of mint, fern, and elderflower add an aromatic lift that signals the wine's volcanic origins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste:\u003c\/strong\u003e The entry is bright and sleek, with crisp green apple and juicy yellow peach framed by a stony, mineral undertow. At mid-palate, savory almond and quinine-like bitterness emerge alongside lychee and star fruit, while a pronounced saline thread runs through each layer. The acidity is taut and precise, giving the wine a nervous energy that keeps it vibrant and engaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e The finish is remarkably long for its weight, trailing off with wet slate minerality, soft balsamic notes, and a lingering saline twist. A whisper of raw almond and star anise persists well after the final sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eHow to Drink Cutizzi Greco di Tufo\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe chilled to around 10–12°C in a medium-sized white wine glass to let the aromatic complexity open gradually; avoid over-chilling, which will suppress the volcanic mineral character.

It shines in a \u003cstrong\u003eHugo Cocktail\u003c\/strong\u003e, where its elderflower-like aromatics complement the elderflower syrup that defines the drink.

Savory almond and quinine-like bitterness add complexity beyond typical white wine fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does Cutizzi Greco di Tufo compare to Feudi di San Gregorio Pietracalda Fiano di Avellino?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both are premium single-vineyard whites from the same Irpinian producer, but Cutizzi emphasizes sharper acidity, volcanic mineral tension, and saline grip from the tuff-rich soils of Tufo. Pietracalda, made from Fiano, tends toward a rounder texture with more pronounced floral and honeyed stone fruit notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Cutizzi Greco di Tufo good for sipping on its own?\u003c\/strong\u003e Absolutely — its combination of taut acidity, layered mineral complexity, and long finish make it a rewarding wine to drink without food.

Grilled branzino or seared scallops complement the wine's weight and mineral backbone. Risotto with lemon and herbs mirrors its citrus lift, while aged pecorino cheese stands up to the savory almond notes. Spaghetti alle vongole is a near-perfect regional match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes does Cutizzi Greco di Tufo come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e The standard release is available in a 750ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Cutizzi Greco di Tufo worth the price?\u003c\/strong\u003e It positions as a premium DOCG white that consistently earns scores of 90 points and above from major critics, including 93 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.

Extended lees contact with regular bâtonnage adds textural depth without introducing oak or secondary flavors that would compete with the grape's natural character. Multiple vintages have scored 93 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, placing it among the most critically recognized expressions of this ancient variety. For anyone seeking a white wine defined by terroir rather than winemaking intervention, the Cutizzi stands as a benchmark for what Greco can achieve in its native Campanian soil.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Feudi di San Gregorio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44838998081705,"sku":"37392","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/Feudi-di-San-Gregorio-Cutizzi-Greco-di-Tufo__26130.jpg?v=1730516003"}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/collections\/feudi-di-san-gregorio.oembed","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
