The white grape variety originates from Italy. Synonyms are Albaranzellu, Alvaranzeliadu, Alvaranzeuli, Lacconargiu, Lacconarzu, Lacconazzu Biancu, Laconari, Laconari Bianca, Laconarzu and Licroasci.

According to DNA analyses carried out in 2021, it originates from a presumably natural cross between Hebén x unknown father variety. It should not be confused with the Albanella or Albillo Real varieties due to some of the same synonyms or morphological similarities.
The medium to late ripening, high-yielding vine is resistant to fungal diseases and late frost (medium), but sensitive to moisture (risk of rot). The white wines are mainly used as blending partners.

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
