Varietal

Greco Bianco

Greco Bianco is an ancient white grape variety primarily grown in southern Italy, especially in Calabria and Campania, where it produces the esteemed Greco di Tufo DOCG. Its name reflects its Greek origins, as the grape is believed to have been brought to Italy over 2,500 years ago by Greek settlers. What makes Greco Bianco unique is its rich texture, aromatic intensity, and ability to age gracefully. It produces full-bodied wines with naturally high acidity, offering a balance of freshness and structure. Typical flavors include ripe stone fruits (peach, apricot), citrus, almond, and floral notes, often accompanied by a distinctive minerality derived from the volcanic soils of Campania. With aging, Greco Bianco can develop honeyed, nutty, and oxidative characteristics. Versatile in food pairings, it complements seafood, white meats, creamy pasta dishes, and aged cheeses, making it a compelling choice for those seeking a complex, terroir-driven Italian white wine.

Country

Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Region

Campania

The beautiful region of Campania, located in the 'shin' of Italy's boot, has been an important center for viticulture and wine making for thousands of years. Indeed, archaeologists believe that wine making was happening in Campania as long ago as 1,200 BCE, making this one of the oldest wine regions on earth. By the time the Roman Empire starting expanding, Campania became the world's most important wine producing region, and the hundred or so native grape varietals which flourish in the mineral rich soils near the coast became the key ingredient in many of Rome's legendary classical wines. Today, the wine industry in Campania is booming once more, following a drop in the region's reputation in the 1970s, and is gaining awards, recognition and new fans each year.
