Vintage: | 2021 |
---|---|
Description: | Benito Ferrera is one of the benchmark producers of Greco, specifically from the most well-known area of Tufo. It shows off the variety's rich, viscous fruit that's given an expansive feel from its moderate, juicy 'inner acidity'; it's further balanced by an undercurrent that's lightly grippy and saline, finishing with a gently bitter pithiness. This is a partner for flavorful seafood, citrus-marinated pork loin, medium-rare spring lamb with peas, and soft buffalo or sheep cheeses. "Aromas of peaches, apricot stones, pears and some jasmine. Ripe and fleshy, with a medium to full body, and a dry, stony finish. " - James Suckling. "The 2021 Greco di Tufo Vigna Cicogna entices with a blend of crushed rocks and dusty florals that give way to freshly sliced nectarine. This is round upon entry yet quickly gains in zesty tension. A salty flourish and brisk acidity pepper the senses. The 2021 finishes with medium length, leaving a citrusy concentration as Granny Smith apple hints slowly fade." - Eric Guido, Vinous. ".reveals bursting aromas of tropical fruits and sage." - Gambero Rosso Wine Guide. "Benito Ferrara is one of Italys best white wine producers. Ferraras most famous wine, the Greco di Tufo Vigna Cicogna, is an Italian icon. Ian dAgata |
