The white grape variety (also Morokanella) originates from Cyprus. For unknown reasons the name is derived from "cinnamon"(cinnamon); 'moro' means "small". The variety was rediscovered by the Cypriot oenologist Akis Zambartas. There may be a relationship with the Canella variety, but the parentage (parenthood) is unknown. The variety was widely spread under the Ottoman occupation. It is cultivated in small quantities and used in blends. However, no stock was recorded in 2016 (statistics Kym Anderson).
For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
