The red grape variety (also Girò del Mandrolisai) comes from Italy. It is possible that there is a genetic relationship with the Girò variety, but the origin (parentage) is unknown. It is cultivated on the island of Sardinia in the Mandrolisai area. In 2016, however, no stocks were recorded (statistics Kym Anderson).

As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
