The white grape variety comes from Italy. The parentage (parenthood) is unknown. It must not be confused with the Verdiso variety due to morphological similarities. The late maturing vine produces straw-yellow white wines with a neutral aroma similar to Riesling Italico (Welschriesling). It is cultivated in small stocks on Lake Como in Lombardy. In 2016, however, no stocks were identified (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".
