Greco group, a group of mostly unrelated grape varieties described by Ian d’Agata (2014, p.53) as ‘for the most part Greek imports’ whilst adding many ‘Greco’ grapes were not from Greece but produced wines in the Greek style meaning ‘sweet and resinous’. Suffixes used included references to grape colour (‘Bianco’, ‘Giallo’) or place (‘di Tufo’).

Group members: Greco (white). | Greco Bianco (white). | Greco Giallo (white). | Greco Moro (white). | Greco Nero (red).
