Baratuciat

The white grape variety originates from Italy. Synonyms are Berlon 'd Ciat and Bertacuciàt. The name means "cat's testicle" according to a local dialect and probably refers to the berry or grape shape. The parentage (parentage) is unknown. The medium-maturing, high-yielding vine is resistant to botrytis. It produces acidic white wines similar to Sauvignon Blanc with a slightly bitter aftertaste. It is used as a wine grape and table grape. The almost extinct variety was rediscovered and reactivated in the Val di Susa in the province of Turin in Piedmont. In 2016, a vineyard area of two hectares was designated (Kym Anderson statistics).
