Coda di Volpe Bianca - Weintraube und Blatt

Origin

According to one hypothesis, it is the descendant of the ancient grape variety Alopecis described by Pliny the Elder (23-79), whose appearance reminded him of the "tail of a fox". However, this frequent description applies to many varieties. The synonym Falerno is also associated with an "ancient relationship", namely with the famous Falerno. It was first mentioned in 1592 by the scholar Giovanni Battista della Porta (1535-1615).
