The winery’s underground caves, integrated into Tufo’s medieval structure, are used for vinification, sparkling wine production, and storage. These cellars maintain optimal humidity and temperature for aging wine and showcase centuries-old winemaking practices. The terroir, with volcanic ash and limestone tufa, imparts unique minerality to Greco di Tufo wines.
The visit to the Greco di Tufo winery begins with a guided tour of the village’s history and its wine, highlighting the significance of the Sulphur Mine in Tufo. The tour explores also medieval tunnels and caves still used for winemaking, concluding with a wine presentation and tasting accompanied by local cheeses and cold cuts.
