The white grape variety (also Cerreto Bianco) originates from Italy. The parentage is unknown. It is probably named after the municipality of Cerreto Sannita in the province of Benevento in Campania. It is grown there south of Naples and is permitted in the DOC wine Sannio. However, no stock was recorded 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".
