Private Medieval Castles Wine Tour

Tufo is a small, historic town in Avellino, Campania, southern Italy, renowned as the birthplace of the prestigious Greco di Tufo DOCG white wine. Built upon, and named after, volcanic rock (tufo), the town is characterized by its medieval Lombard-era Castello Longobardo, former sulfur mines, and steep, narrow streets overlooking the Sabato River Valley. Here, our guests will be led by our dedicated in the tour sommelier Cantine di Marzo, considered the oldest winery in Campania and the birthplace of the famous Greco di Tufo wine, and home of the first sparkling wine in Campania. Founded in 1647 by Scipione di Marzo, the estate transformed the Irpinia winemaking landscape by adapting grape varieties from Nola to the mineral- and sulfur-rich soil of Tufo.
