Greco - Black of Todi – Vini Zazzera

Grero - 2020

A symbolic wine obtained from an ancient, rediscovered indigenous grape varietal. Recovered by Zazzera winery through the study of old military maps, word-of-mouth, and a fortunate discovery, Grero was reborn thanks to the finding of century-old ungrafted vines that survived phylloxera.

Winemaking involves long maceration and malolactic fermentation in exhausted barriques, used to promote micro-oxygenation that does not overpower the aromatic identity of the grape. The color is an impenetrable purple, a prelude to a complex nose of black pepper, small wild berries, and dark floral notes. In the mouth, it has a powerful yet composed sip; it is a meditation wine, elegant and with great character, with a unique phenolic texture and a velvety finish.

Tasting notes

Appearance: Intense red with purplish reflections. The purple color is typical of this grape variety due to the high levels of malvidin naturally present in it. Even after many years of aging, it will tend to show clear purplish reflections.

Aroma: The nose is broad and deep. The first breaths of the wine remind us of very ripe red and black fruit, black cherry, plum, blackberry, blackcurrant. Rosehip and violet accompany the initial nose. The vegetal part recalls undergrowth and aromatic herbs. In the glass, it evolves towards fresh notes of black pepper, representing its varietal heritage. Aging in exhausted wood gives slight notes of tobacco, cocoa, and spices.

Palate: In the mouth, it has a powerful yet composed sip; the tannin is absolutely composed and velvety. The finish is precise and more than persistent. This is a meditation wine, elegant and with great character, with a unique phenolic texture.

Winemaking

This rare native grape variety, hand-harvested in late October, undergoes cold pre-fermentation maceration and fermentation in steel tanks with constant delestage and punching down. Malolactic fermentation takes place entirely in exhausted barriques to promote micro-oxygenation and prevent the wood from imparting too many aromas that could overpower the fruit's identity. This is followed by twelve months of bâtonnage in steel tanks. The process concludes with a long twelve-month refinement in the bottle, essential for harmonizing the austere and elegant phenolic complexity that characterizes the grape variety.

Pairings

It is extraordinary with important cuts of meat, braised dishes, traditional legume soups, 70% dark chocolate or, more simply, enjoyed on its own as a meditation wine.

Line and Label

PARADISO LINE:
In this line, the wines aspire to elevate themselves towards something higher. Here, production becomes selective, yields are reduced, and every choice is aimed at expressing the full potential of the harvested grapes and the two grape varieties that best represent our production area and, above all, our winery.

The Passito di Grechettois born from long waits, natural drying, and meticulous care of the raw material. Grero, an indigenous grape variety rediscovered and now cultivated exclusively by our company, embodies the highest symbol of this line: rare, distinctive, unrepeatable.

These are wines that do not seek quantity but value, that do not chase the market but affirm a vision. The pinnacle of our production, where excellence, rarity, and a deep connection to the territory merge into a unique and unrepeatable expression.

Zazzera Winery

The history of Zazzera winery began around the mid-1960s, when the family produced their first wines for customers of their small country store and for those who purchased other agricultural products from the farm. In those years, viticulture was just one part of a broader agricultural business, alongside cultivation and animal husbandry.

Over time, the company embarked on a path of evolution increasingly focused on winemaking. Over the last thirty years, this transformation has solidified with a precise choice: progressively abandoning other agricultural productions and concentrating exclusively on viticulture, investing in vineyards and the quality of its wines.

Today, after more than half a century of history, Zazzera is a reality entirely dedicated to wine, with vineyards and a winery designed to maximize the value of its grapes and terroir, continuing to combine family tradition and a contemporary vision.
