Southern Italian wines have never disappointed me and today I open one up from Calabria.  This grape is called Greco and is known for it’s rich, velvety texture and aromatic bouquet. Apparently, this grape descended from greek settlers. They brought their vines and winemaking skills to this area and ever since then the land has been dedicated to producing wines.

 

The producer I open up today is called Statti and they have been around since the 1700’s. Each generation of the Statti family has lived on their land and have played an important role in the Calabrian economy. Tune in now to get all the details on this producer, the grape and the area.  I really enjoyed this white wine and hope you do too!
