Giallo d'Arles, Greco di Tufo, 2022

This wine speaks to those who gravitate toward white wines that express themselves with precise lines and lifted aromas of tart citrus fruit, green papaya and crushed oyster shell. There is a pretty salty element to the Quintodecimo 2022 Greco di Tufo Giallo d'Arles that has whiffs of Riesling, or even a Carricante from Sicily's Etna. The Luigi Moio house style prizes volume and texture, and the wine delivers on those fronts with a hint of cinnamon creaminess that comes from partial oak aging on the fine lees. This is a release of 44,000 bottles.
