Tradition

“You are really cold, Bice, and iced, if last night not even the Greco wine was able to warm you"

- Fresco in a house of the archaeological ruins of Pompeii

Several archaeological finds, above all Irpinia burials, dated the history of Tufo from the fourth century. B.C. Great attendance is attested throughout the Roman period, but with the advent of the Lombards, in the ninth century. A.D. that the news begin to multiply. The oldest settlement was found along the river Sabato, where at the shadow of Mount Gloria, the locals built the center using the abundant raw materials in the area, the symbol and name of the country: the tufa. Aragons gave the current form of the village, with a number of quantitative and qualitative improvements.

Tufo has both the climatic and land characteristics suitable for the production of one of the best Italian wines: the Greco. The presence of sulfur and particular minerals in the soil, combined with the microclimate, guarantee unique characteristics to the final product. Probably imported from Thessaly by exiles such as Pelasgi, this wine became very important in the Roman courts, so much so that Plinio wrote that the Greco was so precious that it must be served only once during banquets.
