If you’re looking for a white wine that combines crisp freshness with rich complexity, our Greco collection is the perfect choice. Known for its vibrant acidity and expressive flavors, Greco is a wine that showcases the best of Italy’s winemaking tradition.
Greco, a grape variety native to southern Italy, particularly the regions of Campania and Calabria, produces wines of remarkable depth and elegance. Often considered one of Italy’s finest white grapes, Greco thrives in the volcanic soils of Mount Vesuvius, which give the wines a distinctive minerality and refreshing character. The grape’s ability to balance fruitiness with minerality makes it a favorite among wine enthusiasts who appreciate wines with both freshness and complexity.
The flavor profile of Greco wines is marked by bright citrus notes, such as lemon and grapefruit, along with tropical fruits like pineapple and peach. Floral aromas of white flowers and a hint of almond add further layers of complexity. The wine typically has a medium to full body, with refreshing acidity and a clean, crisp finish. Some Greco wines may undergo aging on the lees or in oak, which imparts additional texture and depth to the wine, often resulting in a slightly creamier mouthfeel and nutty notes.
Greco is often made as a single-varietal wine, but it can also be blended with other native Italian varieties to enhance its structure and complexity. Its versatility allows it to pair with a wide range of dishes, making it a great choice for various occasions.
Key characteristics of Greco wines include:
- Color: Pale straw yellow with a slight greenish hue.
- Flavor: Crisp citrus notes, with tropical fruits like pineapple and peach, and a touch of floral and almond nuances.
- Body: Medium to full-bodied with refreshing acidity.
- Finish: Clean and crisp, with hints of minerality and nutty notes (if aged on lees or oak).
Greco pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, including seafood, particularly shellfish, pasta with seafood sauces, grilled vegetables, and light poultry dishes. Its richness and texture also make it a great match for creamy cheeses and risotto. Whether served as an aperitif or paired with a meal, Greco offers a dynamic and refreshing experience.
