Spergola

The white grape variety originates from Italy. Synonyms are Spargoletta Bianca, Spargolina, Spergolina and Spergolinàis. According to personal information from Dr. Erika Maul (JKI), the variety Vernaccia di Oristano is identical. It must not be confused with the varieties Mostosa (synonym Spergola), Sauvignon Blanc (Spergola used to be an official synonym for Sauvignon Blanc in Italy) or Sémillon despite seemingly indicating synonyms or morphological similarities. The variety was first mentioned in 1811 under Spergolina. It was one of the most important varieties in Emilia-Romagna in the 19th century. The medium-ripening vine produces white wines rich in acidity, which are well suited for sparkling wine production. It is permitted in the DOC wine Colli di Scandiano e di Canossa. In 2016, 115 hectares of vineyards were designated in Italy (Kym Anderson).
