Greco

Greco is a Campanian white grape commonly associated with the name Greco di Tufo. Names containing Greco or Grechetto have been applied to different vines and require careful identification.

The named Campanian material

The Italian Vitis Database records Greco under national catalogue code 97 and documents Greco di Tufo as a synonym. Rauscedo describes small-to-medium compact bunches with a large wing, sometimes resembling a doubled bunch, and small rounded grey-yellow berries.

Comparing technical accounts

The nursery describes floral wines with useful acidity. Its budbreak, harvest timing and disease descriptions differ from the database’s general account, so no single phenology or disease-resistance value is asserted here. The nursery’s proposed Greek origin also remains a research question rather than proven migration history.
