Greco di Tufo

“Producing less, to produce better, without compromising. For many, this is a utopian heresy; for Cantine di Marzo, it’s a daily dogma.”

Wines from Irpinia

“Irpinia accounts for almost all of the DOCG wine production in the entire Campania region.”

Irpinia is an amazing land, that seems to have been purposely invented for prestige wine making. Suffice to say that in this relatively small area we can boast 3 DOCG wines.

Sparkling wines and Grappa

Not only still wines but also two classic method sparkling wines and even a Grappa. When we talk of our production, many are surprised to hear that Cantine di Marzo does not limit itself to still Greco di Tufo and other DOC’s and DOCG’s.

Winemakers since 1647

Cantine di Marzo is its historical winery since 1647 and if this is mentioned in our name and logo, it is not by chance. It is here that for nearly four centuries, we have seen harvested grapes come in before being turned into wine and it is still here that the bottles are labeled before being sent around the world.

With a history spanning nearly four centuries, Cantine di Marzo is the first winery in Campania, and one of the first in all of Southern Italy!

The cellar

A solitary vineyard, the relentless action of the weather and the inevitability of nature, the constant work of man trying to best manage the natural elements, the care of the land and the plants, the cultivation of the best possible fruit.

› discover our cellar

Walking through the ancient medieval tunnels carved into the rock, still used today for the vinification and storage of our wines, guests take a true journey through the history of the di Marzo family (significantly involved in the economic life of the town, including through sulfur extraction) and the di Tufo family, as well as the history of winemaking in the province of Avellino.

do you know the history of the

the first
bottle of
greco di tufo

ever produced?

We do.

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.

Fiano di Avellino, Irpinia Aglianico and Taurasi

the great wines of Irpinia

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?

Classic Method DOCG sparkling wines and grappa

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.
