Fountain and Historical Centre of Tufo

You have arrived by ebike in the heart of the historic centre of Tufo, the town in the province of Avellino, famous for the highly regarded Greco di Tufo, one of Italy's most renowned DOCG white wines.

In the centre of the square is a large fountain where you can fill your water bottles and, deepen your knowledge of this beautiful town. 

Perhaps you will first learn that, according to legend, Greco di Tufo was invented in the 17th century in a historic wine cellar that is located... right under the wheels of your rented ebike. This cellar, which is still in operation and can be visited, is one of the first officially registered wineries in the history of Italy.

In short, here wine - it is not an exaggeration to say it - is part of the social and economic history of the country.

You will have already noticed, along the road from Montefusco to Tufo, the endless expanses of vineyards and the many farms that produce Greco di Tufo of the highest quality.

So, take a stroll around the historic centre and enjoy discovering the most interesting wine cellars in the area, perhaps relying on the advice of the locals.
