The white grape variety originates from Greece. Synonyms are Lampanzona, Perlina d'Inverno, Petrachladi, Prunesta Rosso Violacea and Uva Ruggia. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2013, it comes from a presumably natural cross between Uva Sogra x Caccio di Fermo Nero. However, this is based on only 20 DNA markers (see Molecular Genetics). It is a parent of the varieties Imperial Napoleon, Olivette Blanche, Opsimo Edessis and Porcinale. The variety is used as table grape. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).

For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
