The white grape variety comes from Italy. Synonyms are Barbarossa, Barbarossa di Lucca, Barbarossa di Toscana, Uva Brugno and Uva Bruno. The parentage (parenthood) is unknown. Nothing is known about possible relations to one of the many Barbarossa varieties. In 2016 no stocks were reported (statistics Kym Anderson).
