Greco Di Tufo

 

Greco Bianco is a very old, light-skinned grape variety mostly grown in the Campania region of Italy.

 

Greco wine is known for its aromas of notes of lemons, pears and toasted almonds.  Greco wines also have a mineral complexity that tends to remain on the palette.

 

The grapes are harvested in the second two weeks of October. Greco wine is aged in stainless steel but never oak.  Greco di Bianco is frequently described as one of the best wines created by Italy.
