Greco Bianco The Greco Bianco is generally cultivated in the form of Alberello.
It is a hardy and resistant vine of abundant and consistent production.
It rarely suffers from molds, moths or adverse climatic conditions.
The Greco Bianco, akin to the Gaglioppo, has an elevated sugar
content with medium to high acidity.

from grapes derived from vineyards composed of Greco Bianco vines.

Greco Bianco... is believed to be the grape variety that has
existed on the Ionian coast since the Magna Grecia, during which
time it was referred to as "aminea" - without red. A will inscribed
on marble dating back to the Roman period was unearthed in Petelia
(now Strongoli, 20km away from Ciro') in which an Aminea (without
red) vine was bequeathed to a member of the village.
The bunch is of average size,cylindrical, short, with one
or two wings. The grape is spherical or oval and of medium size.
The skin has very little waxy covering (bloom) and in full maturation
it becomes a golden yellow colour. Its pulp is juicy and its taste
is sweet and simple.
• The production of white Ciro' DOC also
permits the incorporation of grapes derived from Trebbiano Toscano
vines, but the amount of this variety must not exceed 10% of all
the grapes in an entire vineyard.
