The red grape variety originates from Italy. Synonyms are Corvina Grossa, Corvino, Corvinon, Corvinone a Foglia Glabra, Corvinone Veronese (second main name) and Cruinon.

The parentage (parentage) is unknown. It should not be confused with the Corbina or (possibly related) Corvina Veronese varieties due to some of the same synonyms or morphological similarities.
The medium to late ripening, high-yielding vine is susceptible to downy mildew. Due to its loose berries, it is very suitable for drying the grapes and for Recioto wines.
