The red grape variety originates from Italy. Synonyms are Uva Nera Antica and Uva Nera Antica (Apulia). According to DNA analyses carried out in 2021, it originates from a presumably natural cross between Achladi x unknown father variety. However, this is based on only 19 DNA markers (see molecular genetics). Nothing is known about a possible genetic link to the white variety Caccio di Fermo Bianco. No stocks were identified in 2016 (Kym Anderson).
There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
