Villa Raiano Greco di Tufo DOCG 2024 from the hills of Irpinia in Campania is a seriously classy southern Italian white – taut, mineral and quietly powerful, showing why Greco di Tufo sits among Italy’s top whites. Villa Raiano Greco di Tufo DOCG 2024 brings volcanic tension and chalky detail wrapped around pure fruit, making it both refreshing and quietly complex.

In the glass, you’ll see straw colour and aromas of lime, green apple, white peach and citrus blossom, with hints of anise, wild honey and crushed stone. The palate is broad yet incisive – pithy grapefruit, pear and orchard fruits ride over a chalky, saline, almost smoky‑mineral line, finishing long, dry and mouth‑watering with a lovely white‑spice lick. Villa Raiano Greco di Tufo 2024 is the sort of Italian white that rewards attention but is dangerously easy to drink.

Food‑wise, it’s superb with risotto (think artichoke or seafood), shellfish, grilled fish, octopus, tuna, fish soups and simple lemon‑herb chicken, and it can even handle richer white meats or blue cheese with a few years in bottle. Serve it properly chilled and it’s an outstanding option for seafood‑driven dinners and smart entertaining.
