Greco di Tufo DOCG

Greco di Tufo

( Malolactic fermentation)

Tralci Hirpini’s story stems from childhood memories of life in the countryside in times past. It reflects the lush but challenging terrain of Hirpinia(i.e. Irpinia), land of wolves, with its gentle hills and sweeping green slopes. Years ago these same sites were the meeting ground for Gianluca, Francesco and Sabato, young, akin and in tune; today they are fulfilling and nurturing a simple yet grand dream.
Today, past and present meet up in the vineyards of this fortunate land; a winemaker’s haven where Aglianico vines have found a perfect natural habitat which brings out their best. Every new technology, every new project reflects a strong will to create something unique, like the products of this land, where it all began. The first vintage of the winery is 2020.
