WINE MAKING PROCESS
Puddinghe Greco di Tufo is produced by Claudio Quarta Vignaiolo using the Greco di Tufo grape varietal. The grapes are sourced from the producer's Sanpaolo vineyards, located at altitudes above 500 meters in Campania, on soils rich in clay and limestone. The winemaking approach is described as artisanal, with a focus on reinterpreting local varietals to express the territory. While specific fermentation and aging details for the 2023 vintage are not explicitly available, the producer's background in biotechnology and pharmaceutical entrepreneurship informs an approach that blends scientific research with viticultural practices. The vineyards' high altitude and specific soil composition are key factors in the wine's character.
