Antica Hirpinia Greco di Tufo
Wine Description
The story began in 1959 with the foundation of the first winery in Taurasi. Today, Antica Hirpinia is a private cellar, led by a group of friends who took over it in 2016 to realize a common dream: to produce the finest wines in the area. Their first step was to appoint Riccardo Cotarella as their enologist and Valeria Cesari as their consultant.
Tasting Notes
Powerful and vibrant, this wine is rich with crispy white fruit and intense yellow flowers. Saltiness and acidity are very high while remaining round and graceful.
Food Pairings
White meats, vegetable dishes, and shellfish. Excellent with Thai food.
