The white grape variety comes from Italy. Synonyms are La Pampanuta, Pampanino, Pampanuta and Rizzulo. The parentage (parenthood) is unknown. The medium to late maturing vine produces rather low-acid white wines. The variety, which was threatened with extinction in the 1970s, was reactivated. Today, it is mainly cultivated again in the province of Bari in the region of Puglia. It is mostly blended with the two varieties Bombino Bianco and Trebbiano Giallo. The variety is permitted in the DOC white wine Castel del Monte Bianco. In 2016, 33 hectares of vineyards were designated (Kym Anderson).

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
