Greco di Bianco is a white passito wine from Bianco and part of Casignana in Reggio Calabria province.
Greco di Bianco ties its white passito identity to a small coastal territory.
Greco di Bianco is a white passito whose principal grape is Greco Bianco. Its setting follows the lower Ionian coast of Calabria and extends inland into low hills. The landscape includes varied sedimentary ground, with sandy and conglomerate formations on many of the hills. The place name is precise: this wine belongs to Bianco and a delimited part of neighboring Casignana.
Harvested grapes are laid on racks in the sun or dried in forced-air dryers, then crushed and pressed. Sun drying is therefore one permitted route, rather than a rule for every producer. The wine cannot be released before November 1 of the year following the grape harvest.
The grape area covers the administrative territory of Bianco and a defined part of Casignana, in Reggio Calabria province.
