Grecanico is a native vine grown mostly in western Sicily, in the province of Trapani. Probably of Greek origin, the white grape variety was imported into Sicily around the seventh century BC. Its full name is Grecanico Dorato, from the yellow-gold pigmentation of its grapes.
Don Pippinu Bianco is obtained from Carricante, Catarratto, Minnella and Grecanico grapes grown at 650 m on untreated soil. The vines are 80 to 100 years old with ungrafted roots....
