White wines from Southern Italy are enjoying a Renaissance, and the L'Ariella is a beautiful expression of Greco di Tufo. Made by Mario and Luciano Ercolino, whose family founded Feudi di San Gregorio, where Mario was formerly the head winemaker. Sourced from the volcanic soils of Taurasi, L’Ariella is one of Ercolino's most important projects. 100% Greco di Tufo with almost Chablis-like aromas, the high calcium content of the soils give it an intense fragrance and complexity. The wine glows a brilliant straw-yellow with a refreshing floral and fruity bouquet. Framed by apple and pear flavors, this balanced, polished, and precise white is like a cross between a Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay. Don't miss this for under $15 a bottle plus free shipping!
"Enticing herbs, mineral and white almonds to the nose with a beautiful, textured mid-palate, which is sleek yet tense. Medium to full body on the palate with fresh, bright acidity and a mineral, appetizing finish. Drink now." James Suckling, 93 Points
