Greco Bianco

Greco Bianco is an Italian white grape variety that is widely planted in the south of Italy.

Greco Bianco grapes are small and round, with a light yellow-green colour. It has an aromatic bouquet of peaches, pears, honey, acacia flowers and almonds. It is a full-bodied wine, with a creamy texture and a balanced acidity. The flavour profile includes notes of white flowers, apricots, honey and almonds.

Greco Bianco is mainly grown in the southern Italian regions. Greco Bianco is a vigorous grape variety, which needs to be managed carefully in order to keep yields low. It is usually harvested in mid-September. The grapes are usually fermented in stainless steel tanks, to preserve the delicate aromas and flavours. In Campania, Greco Bianco is used to make the Greco di Tufo DOCG, a dry white wine with aromas of ripe stone fruit and floral notes. Greco Bianco is a versatile food wine, which pairs well with seafood, white meats and vegetarian dishes. It is also a great aperitif wine.

Greco Bianco is thought to be one of the oldest grape varieties in Italy, and it is thought to have been brought to Italy by the Ancient Greeks.
