Albarola

The white grape variety originates from Italy. Synonyms are Albarola Bianca, Albarola dei Piani, Albarola di Lavagna, Albarola di Sestri, Albarola Trebbiana, Bianchetta del Genovesato, Bianchetta Genovese (2nd main name), Bianchetto, Calcatella, Trebbiana Bianca, Trebbiana di Sarzana e Carrara, Trebbiana Nostrale, Trebbiano Albarola and Trebbiano di Sarzana. It should not be confused with the varieties Bianchetta Trevigiana or Scimiscià, despite seemingly suggestive synonyms or morphological similarities. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2009, the two varieties Albarola and Bianchetta Genovese, which occur in the province of Genova, are identical. However, in the municipality of Lavagna, a genetically different variety of Albarola was identified, which is only present here. In any case, in the DOC regulations, Albarola and Bianchetta Genovese are indicated as independent varieties.
