Abrusco

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.

Abrsuco - Traube und Blatt

Pedigree

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).

Characteristics

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.
