The Greco grape is an ancient variety with deep roots in the history of winemaking, believed to have been introduced to southern Italy by Greek settlers several centuries before the Common Era. This variety is most commonly associated with the production of high-quality white wines, particularly in the Campania region of Italy, where it thrives in volcanic soils that contribute to its distinctive minerality and flavor profile.
Greco wines, especially those like Greco di Tufo, are well-regarded for their bright acidity and complex aromatics. The typical flavor profile of Greco wines includes fresh citrus fruits, like lemon and grapefruit, combined with pear, green apple, and aromatic herbs. As the wine ages, it can develop more nuanced flavors including dried fruit notes and a unique almond character, which adds to its complexity.
This grape variety is robust, capable of withstanding the intense southern Italian heat, which helps maintain its refreshing acidity and prevents it from ripening too quickly. Greco wines are often medium to full-bodied, offering a structured palate that pairs excellently with food, particularly seafood, poultry, and dishes with rich sauces. The versatility and distinct profile of the Greco grape make it a cornerstone of southern Italian white winemaking, celebrated for both its historical significance and its contemporary appeal in the wine world.
