Description

Cutizzi is a magnificent expression of the Greco di Tufo DOCG, crafted by Feudi di San Gregorio, a pioneer of the oenological renaissance in Southern Italy. This wine is sourced from high-altitude vineyards at 500 to 600 meters in the Santa Paolina area, where volcanic soils and cool mountain air work in harmony to produce grapes of exceptional quality. Unlike standard interpretations, this Riserva undergoes a patient aging process—12 months in stainless steel tanks on the lees with periodic bâtonnage, followed by an additional 3 months in the bottle. This meticulous approach imparts a remarkably creamy texture that perfectly balances the grape's naturally high, crisp acidity. Upon pouring, you are greeted by a brilliant straw-yellow hue with golden reflections. The nose is intense and focused, offering a sophisticated bouquet of ripe yellow citrus, nectarine, green fennel, and a distinct hint of wet chalk or crushed stone. On the palate, the wine is elegant and structured, revealing a profound mineral signature characteristic of its volcanic terroir, finishing with a delicate almond note and a refreshing balsamic touch of mint. Cutizzi is the quintessential choice for refined Mediterranean dining. It pairs beautifully with raw seafood, tuna tartare, bass, or traditional buffalo mozzarella, where its vibrant acidity can cut through richness while complementing the freshness of the ingredients. Whether you are an enthusiast of Italian white wines or a collector seeking depth and complexity, this bottle represents the pinnacle of what the Campania region has to offer—balancing Mediterranean opulence with refreshing, cool-climate tension. Its longevity and evolution in the bottle make it a rewarding wine to enjoy now or cellar for further development.
