The Greco varietal is a type of white grape that originated in Greece and is now mainly grown in Italy, particularly in the regions of Campania and Calabria. It is used to produce a variety of wines, including Greco di Tufo and Greco Bianco.
The wines made from Greco grapes are typically full-bodied and high in acidity. They have strong aromatics, usually displaying hints of peach, pear, lemon zest, and almond, with a characteristic minerality and savory element. Some variations may also exhibit a subtle honey or herbal quality.
The Greco varietal is also often blended with other types, such as Fiano or Falanghina, to create unique flavors. Good examples of Greco wines have a great aging potential, developing more complex flavors over time.
