The white grape variety (also Pirovano 7) is an interspecific new variety between Madeleine Royale x Ferdinand de Lesseps. It contains genes from Vitis labrusca and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed at the research centre in Rome by the breeder Alberto Piròvano (1884-1973). It was a crossing partner in the new variety Bogni 15. The variety is used as a wine grape variety and table grape. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).

The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
