Donnachiara, Aletheia Greco di Tufo Riserva DOCG, 2021
- White Still
- Greco
Donnachiara produces Irpinia’s three DOCG wines, i.e. Fiano di Avellino, Taurasi and Greco di Tufo, as well as the traditional Aglianico and Falanghina wines.
The estate is located in the province of Avellino, a stone’s throw away from Montefalcione, a town that was already powerful under the Etruscans and has a scythe (symbol of farm work) in the municipal coat of arms. Born in 2005, this modern winery boasts vineyards with ancient properties and almost all female management, including CEO Ilaria Petitto, who decided to dedicate herself to grape development. Ilaria is supported by her mother Chiara, the niece of Donna Chiara Mazzarelli Petitto, for whom this company is dedicated.
What the critics say:
"Wet stones, lemons, limes, mangosteens and apricot stones on the nose. Bright and focused with a medium body and tangy acidity. Pretty mineral and citrus crunchiness. Drink now."
"The 2021 Greco di Tufo Riserva Aletheia captivates with a honeyed blend of lime zest, ground ginger and crushed green apples. This is savory and intense, with a burst of zesty citrus and stimulating acidity that builds tension throughout. It finishes potent and staining, leaving a primary concentration and sweet spice to balance."
