iGreco, Calabria IGP (Italy) Greco 2017

 Greco is a name applied to grapes of Greek origin grown in southern Italy.  While its true heritage is somewhat uncertain, the variety known a Greco in Calabria makes a fine and characterful dry white.  The 2017 iGreco Filú demonstrates the character of this unusual variety.   Pure apple, lemon zest, peach and tropical fruit aromas are enhanced by scents of white flowers and delicate herbs.  The flavors are juicy, pure and bright with the lemon-lime citrusy tones of the grape bolstered by the intriguing floral and herbal elements.  It’s a delicious and versatile choice for a wide range of seafood recipes.
