Greco di Tufo 'Alexandros'

Score

91

"The Colli di Lapio 2018 Greco di Tufo Romano Clelia Alèxandros shows instant freshness and purity with yellow or white fruit aromas of honeysuckle, fragrant peach and passion fruit. The age of the vines (now 25 years old), the altitude of the vineyards (some 550 meters above sea level) and limestone clay soils all contribute to the radiance and tonic accessibility of this Greco. There is a pretty mineral or salty signature on the finish. Only 4,000 bottles were made."

"Good full straw-yellow. Reticent aromas hint at tropical fruit, resin, sweet spices and eucalyptus, lifted by a bright lemony touch. Then rich, ripe and juicy, showing noteworthy liveliness to the deep, still brooding mineral and fruit flavors. Finishes long with outstanding limey cut and a hint of talcum powder. Still extremely taut and youthful, this is only starting to show the oily mouthfeel that typifies Greco."

"Flavors of green apple and Asian pear are lightly tart, balanced by lush peach tones and a round, honeyed texture. An undertow of slatey minerality cools and firms the flavors while a wash of salinity refreshes the finish."
