This white grape variety is a new cross between Italia x Angelo Longo. Synonyms or breeding numbers are I. P. 711 and Pirovano 711. The cross was made in 1953 in Italy at the research centre in Rome by the breeder Alberto Pirovano (1884-1973). Latina is also a synonym for the grape variety Coda di Cavallo Bianca. The variety is mainly used as table grape. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
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.
