The “Giallo d'Arles” is a Greco di Tufo from the Quintodecimo winery, which is born in one of the most prestigious estates in the entire Irpinia area. The Greco di Tufo vineyards, which provide the precious grapes for the production of the label, are located near the village of Tufo, particularly in the Santa Lucia area of Mirabella Eclano, at an altitude of about 450 meters above sea level, with a southeast exposure. It is a true company cru, which guarantees every year grapes of superior quality for intensity, balance, and aromatic richness. At the end of the harvest, which usually takes place around mid-October, the best bunches are gently pressed and the free-run must ferments in temperature-controlled steel tanks, except for 30% of the mass, which ferments in new French oak barriques. Before bottling, the wine ages for about 8 months on the fine lees, with periodic bâtonnage.
The Greco di Tufo “Giallo d'Arles” produced by Quintodecimo is a high-end version of this extraordinary Campanian white grape variety.

Visually, it presents an intense and bright yellow, with brilliant golden reflections that enhance its seductive appearance. Rich and refined, it offers aromas of ripe yellow-fleshed fruit, apricot, quince in jam, peach, and hints of dried fruit. Structured and elegant, it proposes a sip characterized by deep and persistent aromas, supported by a vibrant freshness, leading to a savory finish.
