The white grape variety (also Crimpoșie Selecționată) originates from Romania. It is an open-pollinated seedling of the Crâmpoșie variety. Accordingly, the father variety is unknown. The vine was selected in 1972 by the breeders Emilian Popescu, Marin Neagu and Petre Banita in Drăgășani in Romania. It is used as a wine grape and table grape. In 2021, 134 hectares of vines were reported in Romania (ONVPV Romania statistics).

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
