Négret Castrais

The red grape variety (also Folle Noire) originates from France. It should not be confused with the varieties Fuella Nera or Négrette (both with the synonym Folle Noire), despite the synonyms or morphological similarities that seem to indicate this. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2018, it comes from a presumably natural cross between Mauzac Blanc x Morrastel (Graciano). The variety used to be cultivated in south-western France, but is no longer important today. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
