Trade Tools
Italy / Umbria
In 2018, Marchese Giovanni and his wife, La Marchesa Tara decided to experiment with Grechetto to make a monovarietal wine to drink in their private home. The wine was very well-received and they decided to offer it to their most supportive markets. Grechetto is the most representative white grape in Umbria. Historically it consists in one of the oldest grapes growing on the Umbrian territory. This variety originates from the ancient romans civilization and was mentioned by Plinio in his De Historia Naturalis.
