95 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "This is a new project from Feudi di San Gregorio CEO Antonio Capaldo. The Tenute Capaldo 2017 Greco di Tufo Goleto is named after a white stone monastery that frames the background of this vineyard site. Following years of intense experimentation at the Feudi winery, with a dozen or so commercial bottlings of single-vineyard expressions of both the Greco and the Fiano grapes from various pinpoint geological sites spread across Irpinia, Antonio and his team are ready to unveil their best performing wines. It should not go unnoticed that this wine is a Greco. In the ongoing battle of supremacy between Campania's two leading white grapes, it seems that Tenute Capaldo has put its bets on Greco, known for its immediate freshness and encouraging aging record. Will Greco become one of the Noble Whites of Southern Italy? The answer here seems to be yes. Antonio affirms: "Greco is the most important variety we have here in Irpina." Starting with the 2019 vintage, this wine will be bumped up to Riserva status (the vines are 70 years old and planted in calcareous and sulfur-rich soils). Both the 2017 and 2018 vintages are characterized by hot spells during the summer months. Drink: 2020-2030. (Oct 2019)"
95 points James Suckling: "This is so chalky and dusty on the nose with dried lemons and white peaches. Honeysuckle as well. Full- to medium-bodied, with light green apples, flowers and light honey. Yet so mineral and layered. Cashmere texture. Impressive single vineyard greco. Aging beautifully. Drink now. (7/19/23)"
