Calabrese di Montenuovo

The red grape variety (also Calabrese Montenuovo) originates from Italy. The unknown vine was found in an old vineyard called Montenuovo in the Campi Flegrei area of Campania.

Ancestry

According to DNA analyses carried out in 2021, it comes from a presumably natural cross between Sangiovese x unknown parent variety (ex VIVC catalogue). It should not be confused with the Nero d'Avola or Sangiovese varieties due to some of the same synonyms or morphological similarities.

Dr José F. Vouillamoz and Dr Stella Grando identified Calabrese di Montenuovo as a parent of Sangiovese (see there). A parent-offspring relationship with the Magliocco Canino variety has also been established.
