An Ancient Wine - Grechetto di Todi Wine




Todi is a small town in the Umbria region of Italy. Very popular for an ancient wine called Gredhetto di Todi. This wine goes back to the 1st century BC. Grechetto wine is a dry white wine with a lightly bitter aftertaste.  In 2009 , the wine received the important DOC recognition. 

Grechetto is an elegant wine and pairs in style with antipasti, pasta dishes, roast chicken and white meats. 

A recipe which is simple and delicious and  ideal for Summer barbecues or grilling and  perfectly pairs with Grechetto is Herb Grilled Chicken.
