Grechetto di Orvieto yields light-bodied wines characterized by a refreshing lemony essence, complemented by delicate notes of white flowers, chamomile, lime, and yellow apples. With a typically high acidity, these wines offer an easygoing drinking experience. However, when subjected to high yields, Grechetto di Orvieto wines tend to lack complexity, appearing tart and lacking in character.

Thanks to its thick skins and loosely packed bunches, Grechetto di Orvieto is also suited for producing late-harvest wines affected by noble rot, a practice that once contributed to the fame of Orvieto wines.
