Why Cave selected it

Vivid, stainless‑steel Greco from a small estate practising organic viticulture; zesty citrus and mineral freshness at a keen price from an under‑explored Calabrian terroir.

About the wine

This white wine is made from Greco Bianco grapes grown on 17-year-old vines at 250 metres in clay soils with south-facing exposure. It is gently pressed, fermented, and aged for six months on lees in stainless steel, followed by a month of bottle ageing for added finesse. Almost reminiscent of New World Sauvignon with its tropical and zesty edge its a real crackerjack of a wine.

About Tenuta Terre Nobili

Tenuta Terre Nobili, established in the late 1960s by Ennio Matera in Montalto Uffugo, is dedicated to reviving the ancient grape varieties of the region. The estate’s 15 hectares, located within the “Valle dei Crati” IGT at altitudes of 150–250 metres, are farmed organically, with the Guyot training system ensuring optimal growth for the vines. Today, Ennio’s daughter, Lidia Matera, leads the winery as both agronomist and enologist. Her approach combines respect for tradition with a focus on crafting wines that showcase the region’s vibrant character, with clear and fresh fruit expressions.
