Which wine regions make the best Greco wine?

Within Campania, the town of Tufo stands out as a significant hub, boasting the esteemed Greco di Tufo DOCG designation. The volcanic soils in this area, combined with the Mediterranean climate, create an ideal environment for the Greco grapes to thrive, granting the wine its unique taste and aromatic profile.

Another notable mention would be Greco from Basilicata, which, although lesser-known, offers a delightful expression of the grape's potential. Many local vineyards have gained recognition for consistently producing high-quality Greco wines that showcase the grape's versatility and depth.
