Benito Ferrara Greco di Tufo Vigna Cicogna: 2008-2015
BY IAN D’AGATA | NOVEMBER 15, 2016
Benito Ferrara is one of Italy’s best white wine producers. Ferrara’s most famous wine, the Greco di Tufo Vigna Cicogna, is an Italian icon. Ferrara founded the estate in 1991. That year, he began to estate bottle; up until then, his father Nunziante sold all the wine in bulk. Today, the estate produces about 50,000 bottles a year, of which 14,000 are Vigna Cicogna. The winery is run by Benito’s daughter, Gabriella Ferrara, along with her husband, Sergio, who acts as the estate viticulturalist. The winemaking consultant is Paolo Caciorgna, whom I consider to be one of Italy’s two or three biggest enological white wine talents.
