The grape variety is a new variety between Chasselas Rose x Muscat d'Hamburg. Synonyms are Pirovano 2, Uva Rosa and Uva Rossa. The cross was made in 1899 at the research centre in Rome by the Italian grower Alberto Piròvano (1884-1973). The late-maturing vine has no particular resistances. It is mainly used as table grape in many countries around the world. It was a crossing partner of the new varieties Ignea, Servabilis, Solferino (1) and Yamanashi 7. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).

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".
