Fattoria La Rivolta

2024 Taburno Sannio DOC Greco

With roots stretching back over 2,500 years to ancient Greece, Greco carries a sense of history that still shows in the vine, resilient, expressive and unmistakably Campanian. What makes Fattoria La Rivolta’s Greco so appealing is how naturally it reflects its hills, from the calcareous clay soils and altitude to the breeze that drifts through the Taburno slopes. Greco seems comfortable here, keeping its acidity bright, its frame firm, and its fruit clear and lifted. It is already quietly serious when young, and with time, it grows into notes of honey, smoke, and almond, all while staying fresh.
