"The 2024 Greco di Tufo Alexandros is zesty in the glass, with crushed rocks and white smoke giving way to nectarines and lemon shavings. The palate presents a sweet-and-salty mix of citrus-infused orchard fruits and mineral tones. The 2024 tapers off with length, tension, a saline saturation and nuances of tart green apple. It would be perfect with a plate of shellfish."

"Lemon peel, green tea and melon aromas. Beautiful textured palate, excellent persistence, lively acidity and a distinct mineral notes in the finish along with a hint of sapidity. Excellent complexity, harmony and varietal purity. I love the subtle intricacies of this wine! This should age beautifully for at least 7-10 years"

"Vinosity, the apex. Apricot skin, canned peach, nectarine pulp, tamarind and quince paste. The mid-palate, forceful and thoroughly convincing. This is a fine greco, even in the context of the vintage. Riding a wave of quince paste phenolics as much as the underlying waft of freshness. A hint of dryness, the only proviso. Good drinking, all the same. Drink now."

"The 2023 Greco di Tufo is pure seduction in the glass, presenting a rich yet perfumed blend of dried apricots, honeyed florals and candied citrus that rises from the glass. The palate is soothingly round, mixing lime with nectarine and sweet spice over a wave of zesty acidity. This Greco di Tufo leaves a lip-smacking sensation and a salivating palate, tapering off long and spicy."

"The Colli di Lapio 2021 Greco di Tufo Romano Clelia AlŠxandros offers a soft bouquet with sweet citrus and lots of luscious peach and pear. This is a classic Greco with subtle mineral notes and ash to frame that pretty fruit. This mid-weight wine offers the texture and length to pair with an epic spaghetti alle vongole and has ample freshness to boot. Production is 8,000 bottles."

"The 2022 Greco di Tufo Alexandros is remarkably pretty in the glass. An understated blend of young peach, melon and sweet smoke forms its bouquet. Brisk acidity and mineral tones complicate the ripe orchard fruit as this washes across the palate. The 2022 finishes fresh and with medium length, with lingering candied lime notes."
