The red grape variety comes from Italy. The parentage (parenthood) is unknown. The medium maturing vine is resistant to downy mildew. It is cultivated in small quantities in the Veneto region. Here it is registered in the DOC area Bagnoli di Sopra. In 2016, two hectares of vineyards were designated (statistics Kym Anderson).

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
