Thanks for the insight. I think most people are surprised when they learn that Greco ages so well. To me, I think it’s a question of balance, which is a quality any wine – white or red – must have if it is to age successfully.

Great news about the 1983 tasting out so well after 22 years!

I was lucky enough to drink Greco and Fiano that were over twenty years old. They ranged in age from 1979-1984. I found that in most cases the Greco held up better than the Fiano.There were over two cases and they were all Mastroderardino.The 1983 Greco I opened in 2005 was fresh and alive, it was a great wine.
