Greco di Bianco

Greco di Bianco is a prestigious Italian dessert wine produced in the province of Reggio Calabria, specifically in the town of Bianco and parts of Casignana. Recognized with DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) status, it is one of Italy's oldest wines, with origins dating back to the 7th century BC, when Greek settlers introduced the Greco Bianco grape to Calabria.

Crafted using the traditional passito method, the grapes are partially dried on straw mats to concentrate their sugars before fermentation, resulting in a sweet wine with a minimum alcohol content of 17%. The drying process gives the wine a deep amber color and enhances its aromatic complexity.

Greco di Bianco is known for its rich, velvety texture and aromatic notes of orange blossoms, citrus fruits, and subtle herbal undertones, which deepen with age. It pairs wonderfully with dry pastries, almond-based desserts, and aged cheeses like pecorino.

Best served at 14°-16°C, Greco di Bianco offers a unique and historic tasting experience that reflects Calabria's ancient winemaking heritage.
