In 1647, Scipione di Marzo settled in Tufo, a small village in the province of Avellino, at a time when winemaking was very different from what it is today.
The story tells us that Scipione’s instinct compelled himto take advantage of this soil made of clay and limestone that nature had so generously provided. Nobody was aware that this type of soil, resting on a rocky sublayer of tuff stone, was a unique winegrowing feature.
Nothing special you might say. But what seems obvious can have a complex origin.
Take nature for instance The limestone, clay and tuff found in abundance. So often taken for granted, are the result of millions of years of transformation and endless geological and biological processes that are hard to imagine.
Then you take a man, with hiswit and ideas.
Had Scipione di Marzo not stood up to the challenge of planting his vesuvian variety in Tufo, the Cantine di Marzo estate would not have existed. Tufo would have been a very different place and Irpinia winemaking would surely miss an important piece.
When nature and man work hand in hand, they are capable of truly great achievements, as is the case for the Greco variety.
Irpinia, with its three DOCGs, has become a significant location on the Italian wine map for at least 50 years. Who would have thought that Greco di Tufo, Fiano di Avellino, Irpinia Aglianico, and Taurasi would be capable of
drawing the world’s attention?
If you believe that Classic Method Grappa and Spumante can only exist in the regions of northern Italy, it is because you have not yet tasted the Greco di Tufo versions from Cantine di Marzo.
We are located in Tufo, a magnificent place from a winemaking perspective, and much more. Come and visit our historic winery.
