Informations about "Cornalin" in news+stories

This red grape variety comes from the Aosta Valley in Italy on the Swiss border. The name is probably derived from "corniolo", the Italian name for the Cornelian cherry. Synonyms are Broblanc, Cargnola, Cornalino Nero, Cornallin, Corniola,(Italy); Cornalin d'Aoste, Cornalino, Humagne Rouge (Switzerland).

In Switzerland, Cornalin is counted among the Old Growth grape variety group.
