Greco Nero di Sibari

Greco Nero di Sibari is a red grape variety native to Calabria, growing along the Tyrrhenian and Ionian coasts. It is distinct from Greco Nero di Verbicaro, with medium-small, conical clusters and small, elongated berries. The grape ripens later in September, compared to the earlier-ripening Greco Nero di Verbicaro. Research suggests it may be identical to Marsigliana Nera and Magliocco Dolce, though this remains unclear.

Greco Nero di Sibari is known for producing wines with deep color and structure, though specific flavor profiles and aromas are not detailed.

Greco Nero di Sibari is primarily found in the coastal regions of Calabria, Italy, where it thrives in the unique climatic conditions of the area.

In Calabria, there are at least four different Greco Biancos and five Greco Neros, each traditionally differentiated by specific place names (e.

g. , Greco Nero di Sibari, Greco Nero di Scilla). However, Italian law now prohibits the use of place names for grape varieties on wine labels.
