Grechetto refers to a pair of unrelated grape varieties called Grechetto di Orvieto (or Grechetto G109) which is the ‘real’ Grechetto, and Grechetto di Todi (or Grechetto G5) which is an unrelated variety (and not a clone) thought to be one of the Trebbiano group. They are found in the Umbria and Lazio (Latium) regions of Central Italy.

Wine styles: Still dry white wine, often a blend of Grechetto di Orvieto and Grechetto di Todi. Late-harvest noble rot sweet wines are traditional in Orvieto (see Orvieto DOC).
