"The 2022 Greco di Tufo Vigna Cicogna is wickedly fresh. A burst of lime zest, dried apricot and crushed rocks forms its bouquet. This stimulates the senses with zesty acidity and salty mineral tones. Citrus-tinged orchard fruits create a crunchy sensation toward the close. The Vigna Cicogna finishes long and with a youthful tension, leaving a saline tinge lingering as young peach tones gradually dissipate."

"This historic estate is located in the town of Tufo and consistently offers an excellent interpretation of the white-wine appellation that bears the town's name. Opening to medium golden saturation, the Benito Ferrara 2022 Greco di Tufo Vigna Cicogna delivers good intensity with a pronounced mineral side that is contrasted against sweet peach and apple. Those flavors are neatly capped by fresh acidity on the close. Winemaking sees stainless steel only, and 26,000 bottles were made."
