About this wine
The estate's classic-level Greco di Tufo DOCG, produced from Benito Ferrara's vineyards in Tufo outside the single Vigna Cicogna parcel. Fermented and aged for several months in stainless steel to preserve freshness, it shows the variety's signature citrus zest, white flowers and stone fruit aromas, framed by the volcanic tuff and sulfur-rich soils of Irpinia. It offers mineral tension similar to Vigna Cicogna in a lighter, more immediate style, finishing with the grape's characteristic bitter almond note.
A friendly, everyday introduction to Benito Ferrara's Greco di Tufo style - brighter and more immediate than the flagship Vigna Cicogna.
Sommelier's Note

Benito Ferrara Greco di Tufo Vigna Cicogna
WhiteGreco di Tufo
Vigna Cicogna is the flagship cru of the Benito Ferrara estate, sourced from a 1.5-hectare single vineyard in the San Paolo district of Tufo. The vines, aged between 15 and 60 years, grow in calcareous clay soils rich in volcanic sulfur. This wine is celebrated for its remarkable elegance, combining a tense, mineral-driven structure with vibrant aromas of stone fruit, lemon peel, and subtle smoky notes. It offers a silky texture, concentrated weight, and a signature finish with a hint of bitter almond, reflecting the unique volcanic terroir of Irpinia.

WhiteGreco di Tufo · Coda di Volpe
A Campania IGP white blending 85% Greco and 15% Coda di Volpe from vineyards between Tufo and Petruro Irpino at around 400 meters on clay-limestone soils. Straw yellow in color, it opens with floral and fruity notes and delivers a dry, easy-drinking palate - a lighter, more casual counterpart to Benito Ferrara's pure Greco di Tufo bottlings.

RedAglianico
Benito Ferrara's entry-level Aglianico, a Campania IGT from the estate's vineyards in Montemiletto. Ruby red with fresh aromas of cherry, red berries and violet, it ferments in steel and ages briefly in steel before release, resulting in a dry, medium-bodied, smooth and approachable red - the estate's easy-drinking counterpoint to the more structured Vigna Quattro Confini.

WhiteFiano
Benito Ferrara's Fiano di Avellino DOCG, sourced from a specific parcel in Lapio - the historic birthplace of Fiano - from 20-year-old vines at roughly 500 meters on limestone and clay soils with east-facing exposure. Soft-pressed and fermented in stainless steel, aged around 8 months before bottling, it shows honeyed aromatics, white peach and dusty dried flowers layered over pronounced minerality and firm acidity.

RedAglianico
Benito Ferrara's single-vineyard Aglianico, named for the point where four municipal boundaries meet, within the Taurasi DOCG zone around Tufo and Montemiletto. Grown on limestone and calcareous clay soils with full southern exposure, it is hand-harvested late in the season and aged partly in barrique for extended structure; depending on the vintage's classification, it has been released as Irpinia Aglianico DOC or as Taurasi DOCG. It shows a reductive, mineral-driven style with red and black fruit, rosemary and sweet spice, framed by firm, velvety tannins - Benito Ferrara's most serious and age-worthy red.
