Grechetto

The Grechetto grape is widespread above all in central Italy, particularly in the areas of Orvieto and Todi. As with many indigenous grape varieties, its origins remain rather mysterious. On the other hand, it is certain that there are two different clones: the grechetto di Orvieto, more widespread and common (clone g109), and the grechetto di Todi (clone g5), which actually possesses the same genetic makeup as the pignoletto grown on the Bolognese hills. DNA analyzes have shown that there is a close kinship relationship between the Grechetto of Orvieto and that of Todi, without however being able to establish with certainty a parent-child derivation. From a grape point of view, Grechetto di Todi has an earlier ripening period than that of Orvieto.

The wine has a straw yellow color with floral scents, citrus aromas, white fruit and exotic hints. It has a good structure, with a harmonious sip, low acidity and a finish with an almond note.
