Pop's Staff Wine Picks Of The Week

2019 Terredora Dipaolo Greco Di Tufo

The Greco variety was originally cultivated on the slopes of Vesuvius, where it was given the name Lacryma Christi. It was later planted in the province of Avellino, where it was given the denomination Greco di Tufo. The refined personality of the wine is in sharp contrast with the wild nature of the Irpinia, where it is made. This contrast is the result of the area’s dedication to simplicity which has been refined by years of winemaking. Loggia della Serra” is the name of the vineyard in Montefusco at 600 m above sea level. It means “terrace on the vineyards.

2017 Terredora Dipaolo AGLIANICO CAMPANIA

Aglianico is a native Italian varietal that is widely diffused in Campania and in Basilicata. It is of extremely ancient origin and some experts argue that it was cultivated in the early period of Roman history and was introduced to Italy by the Greeks at the time of the foundation of Cumae (the modern Cuma) or soon afterward. Terredora considers itself a guardian of this dynamic native varietal, producing significant quantities of the varietal at both the IGT and DOCG level.
