Gracobianco has been proven to be the same grape as Malvasia Delipari, Malvasia di sardinia, and other Malvasia named grapes.

Additional confusion stems from the fact that the national registry has not yet recognized as a relationship and still maintains a separate entry for Malvasiadipari, perhaps not unreasonably given that the two grapes and wines have almost nothing in common. Grekobianco de Chiro is not the same as Grekobianco, but rather the same as another Calabrian variety called Guardo Valle as are and another imposter, Greco bianco de Rosiano, sometimes called is actually the grape called Peccorello. Lastly, Grecobianco Del Pollino is identical to Montonico Bianco. Listen to the Italian wine podcast wherever you get your podcasts. We're on sunk out Apple Podcasts, Spotify, email ifm, and more.
