Greco di Bianco

The Greek of White is considered the oldest wine of Italy with the Moscato di Siracusa: the vine from which it derives the Greek origins of White very remote: it is considered that the first branch has arrived in Calabria, in the territory of White, already in the seventh century BC when the Greeks landed at the promontory Zefirio (now called Cape Bruzzano). The plant found along this stretch of land climatic characteristics similar to those of origin. In 1966 the Greek of White reached a very low level of production, which is why White was founded in an agricultural cooperative, with the aim to enhance and standardize production. The goal was reached in 1980, when the Greek of White had the approval of DOC.
