The red grape variety originates from Italy; the name means "wild vine". Synonyms are Abrostalo, Abrostine, Abrostine Nero, Abrostino, Abrostolo, Abrostolo Forte, Abrusco Nero, Abrusco Nero di Toscana and Abrusio.
The parentage (parentage) is unknown. In Wine Grapes, Abrusco and Colorino del Valdarno are listed as two independent grape varieties. In the VIVC catalogue, however, Colorino del Valdarno is listed as a synonym for the Abrusco variety (possibly two varieties).
The medium-ripening vine produces a colourful, tannin-rich red wine that is also suitable as a teinturier (colouring wine). These characteristics are largely the same as those of the Colorino del Valdarno variety.

If I were to rate websites, you would deserve the highest rating. It is rare to come across websites that provide such a large amount of data and are still so intuitive to use. Respect for the lovingly researched and informatively prepared encyclopedia. Keep it up!
