The red grape variety (also Prugnolino Medio) comes from Italy. It is one of the many varieties with Vernaccia in its name. A possible relationship to other Vernaccia varieties or the parentage is unknown. The late-ripening, high-yielding vine is cultivated in small quantities in the Marche region, where it is mainly used for IGT wines. However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).

The wein.plus encyclopaedia is a comprehensive, well-researched reference work. Available anytime and anywhere, it has become an indispensable part of teaching, used by students and myself alike. Highly recommended!
