The white grape variety originates from Italy. Its origin (parentage) is unknown. In the regulations for the DOC white wine Colli Pesaresi Bianco ( Marche region), it is given as a local designation for Trebbiano Toscano. Wine Grapes describes it as an independent variety and refers to the morphological similarities and possible genetic relationships with the Albanello, Albaranzeuli Bianco, Elbling, Greco Bianco and Trebbiano Toscano varieties. It is also listed in the VIVC catalogue, but not in the Italian grape variety register M .I.P.A.A.F. In 2016, no stocks were reported under the name Albanella (Kym Anderson).

The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
