Grechetto

A pillar of central Italy’s white wines, Grechetto is best known as a key component of Orvieto blends, though it also shines solo. Pear, white peach, and toasted almond define its profile, often with a slightly waxy texture that adds depth. Resistant to disease and rich in phenolics, it lends both body and structure to blends. In Umbria, top examples reveal a surprising ability to age, developing nutty complexity over time. A quiet yet essential part of Italy’s white wine tapestry.
