Greco - Weintraube und Blatt

The parts of the name Greco , which are very frequently used in Italy, and Grechetto in grape variety names, although not necessarily, may indicate a Greek origin. In any case, the often very similar names lead to great confusion. Even in DOC/DOCG designations and lists of grape varieties, it is often not clear which variety or varieties are actually involved; in some cases this is also contradictory. Among other things, there are two white varieties with the names Greco (to which the following description refers) and Greco Bianco.

If I were to rate websites, you would deserve the highest rating. It is rare to come across websites that provide such a large amount of data and are still so intuitive to use. Respect for the lovingly researched and informatively prepared encyclopedia. Keep it up!
