A nose of earth, nuts and yellow apples favors savory and saline aromas, with the fruit becoming more pronounced on the palate. Vibrant acidity emphasizes the spicy white pepper notes that spark on the finish, to cut through a round, full texture that carries through a warm finish.
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.

The certified organic San Salvatore 1988 2022 Greco Calpazio is an easy-drinking wine that pops with plenty of freshness, citrus and crispy green apple. This lean-bodied white keeps the palate refreshed thanks to all these snappy, vibrant qualities. Production is 20,000 bottles.

Sweet smoke, crushed Granny Smith apple and incense create an inviting bouquet as the 2022 Paestum Greco Calpazio opens in the glass. This is texturally deep, nearly oily in teel, with a balancing core of minerals and tart orchard fruits to balance, complicated by savory herbs tones toward the close. The 2022 finishes with a chewy concentration of sour melon and green citrus notes that fade slowly.

This producer’s wines tend to be marked by bright tropical accents that can become tiring. Yet the textural precision and salty beam of balancing freshness cannot be denied. Solid. Drink now.
Winery Notes
Straw yellow color with hints of green. Notes of yellow peach, apricot, grapefruit, bergamot, quince, ginger, white flowers and Asian spices on the nose. Dry and balanced on the palate with a long, pleasing finish.
