    Grechetto

    Grechetto is not one grape. It refers actually to 2 different grapes: Grechetto di Orvieto and Grechetto di Todi (which is also called Pignoletto). Can this be more confusing? Just remember that the grapes are found in Umbria and Emilia-Romagna. We are working on this Grechetto grape description. Please come back soon.
