  • Greco is easily recognisable by its opulent appearance, characterised by bright yellow berries lightly speckled with brown dots that cascade beautifully.

  • It is important to note that referring to Greco as Greco Bianco is inaccurate, as Greco and Greco Bianco are distinct cultivars historically linked to different regions of Italy.

  • For Greco, there are two esteemed grand crus – Santa Paolina and Tufo – along with one premier cru, Montefusco.

Greco wines typically boast a deep yellow hue, exhibiting a robust, full-bodied nature often accompanied by elevated alcohol content; collectively, they offer an almost oily, tannic texture.

There’s a distinct Greco mouthfeel that makes it easily identifiable even in blind tastings. Commonly noted aromas and flavors include hints of yellow flowers, honey, peach, pear, and ripe tropical fruit.

In contrast to Fiano wines, which often benefit from a few years of bottle aging, Greco wines, with their delightful blend of peachy and honeyed opulence, are highly enjoyable when young. However, they also possess the potential for splendid aging.
