The little town in the province of Avellino where Donnachiara is located is not exactly famous, but many Italian-American families in the northeastern U.S. know it well because their ancestors came from these hills. In fact, the 100-year-old Feast of St Anthony parade in Boston's North End has its origins in this little village of Montefalcione. The 2018 Greco di Tufo Aletheia is less fruity compared to the estate's classic Greco di Tufo (from the 2019 vintage) also released at the same time, and I prefer that wine at the end of the day, thanks to its more complete aromatic profile. This expression is a bit leaner and more streamlined with white flower, summer grass, sun-ripened citrus and lingering mineral tones. Some 5,000 bottles were released.

A snappy white, with flavors of crunchy white peach and pear fruit, accented by ground white pepper and ginger notes, set in a light- to medium-bodied frame. Creamy and citrus-laced on the finish. Drink now through 2022. 250 cases made, 100 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / South / Greco di Tufo Select to Add

This is my first taste of this new wine from Donnachiara. The 2017 Greco di Tufo Aletheia takes a cheerful and carefree approach to the Greco grape with citrus fruit, pear, white melon, honey and crushed mineral. The wine is transparent and luminous in appearance with a fresh, simple and forthcoming delivery of aromas. A selection of the best fruit from the Santa Paolina vineyard with tufo-rich soils is used. No malolactic fermentation was allowed, and the wine is sharp and extra crispy as a result. Some 3,300 numbered bottles were made.
