Varietal: 100% Greco
One of the smallest DOCGs in Italy, albeit highly productive: the production area includes only 8 municipalities in the province of Avellino. The name of the wine reveals its origins. In the Greek culture it was already recognized as a grape of great value, which was poured “last and only once” in banquets (Pliny the Elder). Difficult to vinify, the bunch is compact and the skin is thin and contains many tannins to tame. The peel contains many catechins and pigments and, despite its delicacy, is very prone to long aging. The harvest is carried out strictly by hand, the grapes placed in small boxes and transported to the cellar, where they are selected during the destemming phase.
