Greco

Greco – Southern Italian white wine personality with depth

Greco is one of the oldest grape varieties in Southern Italy and produces wines that you won't soon forget. In the glass, it shows a white wine with substance: full-bodied, yet fresh, with a characteristic minerality that clearly distinguishes it from lighter varieties. If you like wines that have something to say, Greco is the right choice.

Origin and character

The best-known expression is the Greco di Tufo from Campania – a DOCG appellation that sets clear quality standards for the wine. The volcanic soils around Tufo shape the distinct minerality that Greco fans appreciate so much. Besides that, Greco also exists in Calabria, where the Statti winery interprets the variety in different styles – from dry white wine to a late-harvest variant.
