The white grape variety originates from Romania. Synonyms are Creata de Moldova, Frâncușe, Frîncușă, Moale Vinoasă, Mustoasă, Mustoasă de Moldova, Poamă Creată, Poamă Franchie, Poamă Mustei, Tartara and Vinoasă.

Despite seemingly suggestive synonyms or morphological similarities, it should not be confused with the varieties Kreaca (synonym Frâncușă) or Mustoasă de Măderat. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2013, it is a presumably natural cross between Alba Imputotato x Gouais Blanc (further analyses only revealed the father or mother variety). However, this was based on only 20 DNA markers (see molecular genetics).
