Description Campania produces a myriad of wines all over its region. The Greco wines as the name implies are believed to come originally from Greece. This particular wine comes from the vineyards around the village of Tufo. There is also a sparkling wine version with this name.

These wines come from that part of Italy considered to be the most beautiful and famous. Who has not heard of Capri and Sorrento as well as the Amalfi coast. But the place is not only famous for its beauty, but the cuisine and wine-making is worthy of being discovered.

The climate is generally mild and lends itself to an excellent cultivation of the famous Greco del Tufo as well as the Falanghina wines, to be drunk together with fish in a medley of dishes offered by this region.
