‘One of Italy’s Best White Wine Producers’
Campania, in southern Italy, is one of the great wine terroirs in the world. Most people know the region for the Amalfi Coast, Positano, and the impossibly vertical villages clinging to cliffs above the ocean. But just inland is where some of Italy’s greatest white wines are born. This is a landscape forged by volcanoes, their eruptions over millennia blanketing the region in mineral-rich ash and pumice. Those soils give the wines an unmistakable signature: smoky, salty, electric.

At the center of it all is Greco, one of Italy’s most noble white grapes, and Benito Ferrara is universally known as its Grand Master. Today’s wine is structured, energetic, with thrilling layered complexity. One sip will have you listening to the waves and smelling the salt air of a true Italian seaside trattoria, whether you’ve actually been there or not. I know because my first sip equaled an “oh wow” and “grilled branzino is for lunch?”
“Benito Ferrara is one of Italy’s best white wine producers.”
Ian d’Agata, Vinous Media
The nose opens with citrus zest and crstyalline stone fruit, with a saline kiss at the end evoking the nearby sea. Strctured and energetic on the palate with orchard fruit wrapped around a firm mineral core that keeps pulling you back for another sip. This is a wine meant for food, and as always the pairings that work best are regional classics. Grilled Branzino, fried calamari, or even seafood risotto!
Few wines capture the intersection of land, sea, and fire quite like this.

TASTING NOTE /
“I like the touch of reduction and the petrol-like note that has already set in, a frequent feature of the variety. The palate is fleshy and broad – malolactic didn’t go through but there’s no hardness on the palate. I like the fresh green fruit, ripe lemon and zest; phenolics are mild but present as always with greco. Length and depth are very good to excellent. Lots of pleasure here.”
