Romaldo Greco.
The planted area consists mainly of the two native grapes, Negroamaro and Primitivo from which their exceptionally smooth and rounded Classic wines come from, including Primus and Nigra, which are true expressions of the terroir, and the beautifully full flavoured cellar kings, Versus from negroamaro and Era from primitivo, as well as Shahar, a fabulously zesty tasty white wine from Chardonnay as so diiferent from the more typical style of chardonnay from elsewhere, and Duodecim, a rosato, skin touched for 12 hours which, like all their wines, continues to win award after award every year.
To complete the range the winery champions a collection of wines that they refer to as Daily wines to reflect a slightly lighter body but with all the flavour which makes them particularly suitable for those that prefer this style and ideal for summer time drinking on their own or with lunch or small plates.
However, Romaldo Greco wines are not just the result of a fortuitous location, Romaldo’s son Antongiulio and his daughter Gloria together with a dedicated and knowledgeable team have achieved a level of wine making expertise that sets their wines apart as honest representations of the terroir using indiginous grape varieties with a highly modern twist making them exceptionally drinkable.
The winery covers an area of about 15 hectares on four different estates, at Valentini, Murrone, Conte Grande and Renda. The soil is medium textured, tending towards clay. From one estate to another the soil texture has slight but significant differences that allow a wide heterogeneity in the production, and the company’s ethos is to highlight both tradition and innovation enhancing the grape varieties and reinterpreting the centuries-old farming tradition of this land in a contemporary way.
