Pietracupa Greco di Tufo 2012




For a long time I did not drink a Greco di Tufo; one of those serious then, I was missing a lot. This one I sought, found and bought - on line - out of curiosity, after reading excellent feedbacks on the wine guides: "... among the excellence", "the best Italian Greco di Tufo" ...

It is bright straw with green hues, for a fragrant nose of fruit from "club tropicana" - mango and papaya, yellow melon, yellow peach - but also citrus, some herbaceous note and a stingy minerality.

The palate, soft, sweet, but quite fresh, remains very attached, anchored to the tropical fruity expressions, and the mineral aspect that does not want to come out. 
What check, then it is the warmth alcohol - the 2012, if someone had forgotten, was a hot year - which ends up weakening voltage sour and slenderness of sip, up to that point appreciated.
It finishes hot, with notes of peach, pear and almond.

Not bad, but 18/20 for someone, 89/100, 90/100, 91/100, for others are important scores. I do not vote.
No doubt I, disciple, and them, the Masters, we drank otherwise bottles.
At least.
