Grechetto

Grechetto is a white grape grown across central Italy and used mainly for blending. The Grechetto has Greek origins but it has been grown for so long in Italy that it is largely considered to be native to Umbria, where it is most commonly grown, however, it is also cultivated in Lazio and Tuscany. Most notably, this grape is used in the production of Orvieto and the Orvieto Amabile wine where it is usually blended with Trebbiano.
