Who makes it?

Founded in 2008 in the rugged hills of Irpinia in Southern Italy, Nativ Srl is the brainchild of powerhouse duo oenologist Dr. Mario Ercolino and food scientist Dr. Roberta Pirone. Tired of seeing local grapes get overlooked, they named their winery "Nativ" to celebrate the indigenous varieties that have called Campania home for centuries. By pairing their own estate vineyards with a tight-knit network of dedicated local growers, Nativ has quickly become the ultimate hype-team for Southern Italian winemaking, championing native legends like Fiano di Avellino, Falanghina, Aglianico, and—of course—Greco di Tufo.

How is it made?

Crafted from 100% pure Greco di Tufo grapes grown in the mineral-rich, calcium carbonate and sandstone soils of the Tufo territories, Vico dell'Amore Greco di Tufo DOCG takes its name from a secluded "little alley" bordering the vineyard where local lovers once snuck away for some privacy. Come October, the grapes are harvested in the cool early morning hours before undergoing a gentle pressing and cold static clarification. Fermentation takes place at a chilly 14°C to 16°C before the winemakers slam the temperature below 10°C—intentionally blocking malolactic fermentation to keep the wine's natural zing intact. From there, the wine lounges sur lies with weekly bâtonnage (lees stirring) for over four months to build texture, followed by another four months of quiet contemplation in the bottle before hitting the shelves

What does it taste like?

Pour a glass and you are greeted by an intense yellow hue flashing subtle, youthful chlorophyll highlights. On the nose, it immediately delivers an enveloping bouquet of ripe peach pulp, delicate orange blossom, zesty sour orange, and fresh lime. Taking a sip reveals a surprisingly creamy, textured palate—courtesy of all that lees stirring—that is kept completely in check by electric acidity and a signature, stony Tufo minerality. Served chilled at 10°C, this Campania white wine is an absolute dream alongside fresh shellfish, savoury seafood, traditional Neapolitan dishes, white meats, and local cheeses.
