Greco Bianco

Greco Bianco is an ancient white grape variety primarily grown in southern Italy, especially in Calabria and Campania, where it produces the esteemed Greco di Tufo DOCG. Its name reflects its Greek origins, as the grape is believed to have been brought to Italy over 2,500 years ago by Greek settlers.

What makes Greco Bianco unique is its rich texture, aromatic intensity, and ability to age gracefully. It produces full-bodied wines with naturally high acidity, offering a balance of freshness and structure. Typical flavors include ripe stone fruits (peach, apricot), citrus, almond, and floral notes, often accompanied by a distinctive minerality derived from the volcanic soils of Campania. With aging, Greco Bianco can develop honeyed, nutty, and oxidative characteristics.

Versatile in food pairings, it complements seafood, white meats, creamy pasta dishes, and aged cheeses, making it a compelling choice for those seeking a complex, terroir-driven Italian white wine.
