Albaranzeuli Bianco

The white grape variety originates from Italy. Synonyms are Laconari, Laconari Bianca, Lacconargiu and Lacconarzu. Despite seemingly suggestive synonyms or morphological similarities, it should not be confused with the Albanella or Albillo Real varieties. One hypothesis is that it was introduced from the Iberian Peninsula to Sardinia during the Spanish occupation from 1323 to 1720. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2021, it comes from a presumably natural cross between Hebén x unknown partner. The late-maturing, high-yielding vine is resistant to fungal diseases. It is cultivated in Sardinia in the provinces of Nuoro and Oristano, where it is used as a blending partner. In 2016, only two hectares were reported (Kym Anderson statistics).
