"Giallo d'Arles" is a Greco di Tufo from the Quintodecimo winery, which comes from one of the most prestigious estates in the entire Irpinia area. The Greco di Tufo vineyards, which donate the precious grapes for the production of the label, are located near the town of Tufo, in particular in contrada Santa Lucia in Mirabella Eclano, at an altitude of about 450 meters above sea level, with an exposure facing southeast. This is a true estate cru, guaranteeing superior quality grapes each year in terms of intensity, balance and aromatic richness. At the end of the harvest, which usually takes place in mid-October, the best clusters are gently pressed and the flower must ferments in temperature-controlled steel tanks, except for 30 percent of the mass, which ferments in new French oak barrels. Before bottling, the wine is aged for about 8 months on fine lees, with periodic bâtonnage.
