Grechetto is a native white grape from Umbria that thrives at the Di Filippo estate in Umbria located in central Italy. Winemaker Robert Di Filippo’s philosophy starts in the vineyard where high quality grapes are cultivated thru the respect of nature and the clay soils.

Grechetto, the region’s star white variety, produces Umbria’s best crsip and tactile white wines,. Whether on its own or as part of a blend, this grape has elevated the general quality of whites throughout this central, land-locked Italian region. Producers tend to favor its use in the native Orvieto white wine, a dynamic blend composed of varying percentages of Trebbiano, Grechetto, Verdello and Canaiolo Bianco, to name a few. Somm Secret—Many famous Sagrantino producers from Montefalco also produce single varietal Grechettos from the adjacent, Colli Martani DOC.
