A wine unique. And 'what has managed to do in Irpinia Alessandro Lonardo with this grape white grape that has the distinction of seeing the skin of the beans grow disproportionately compared to the inner pulp making that aspect of muscat grapes that then the name or Grecomusc Roviello variety. An exercise that Alexander said in front of his vintages tasted. "I am proud of having saved it." An ungrafted vine, and a popular spot represented strains from old vineyards all over. From 2003 through the involvement of University of Palermo and Naples, with Professor Giancarlo Moschetti, Dr. Nicholas Frank, a microbiologist and the Grecomusc ampelography Antonella Monaco has seen the light in the bottle in a land consecrated to the usual Taurasi. In soils of volcanic formation with shares this white chalky clay, in the years 2008 and 2007, expresses a superb minerality, notes of light smoke, flint, accompanied by strong freshness of the scent of cedar. Excellent yellow, intense. I thought of the "Silex", the Pouilly Fumé the late French vigneron Didier Dagueneau Montrachet and certain developments in best. A big surprise even if the bottles produced are limited.
