I have such a soft spot for this alluring white wine. The first time I drank it was with my wife and a good friend in Manhattan at a great Italian restaurant named Peasant. This wine was both affordable and delicious, but what was most impressive is that it paired well with everything on the table from spicy octopus to whole roasted sea bass to linguini with bottarga. Feudi di San Gregorio is one of southern Italy's most highly respected wineries and their Greco di Tufo from their Cutizzi vineyard on the volcanic foothills of Mt. Vesuvius offers all that's good about Greco. Aromas of peaches and mint are backed up by flavors of stone fruits, and intense chalky tufo minerality in a delivery that is rich, full-bodied and balanced by refreshing acidity. Yum.
