Gaglioppo - Weintraube und Blatt

Origin

This very old variety was mentioned as early as 1240, when the Roman-German emperor and ruler of the Kingdom of Sicily Frederick II (1194-1250) ordered "centum barrilia de bono vino de galloppo" (one hundred barrels of good Gaglioppo).

However, there is no DNA match with Greek grape varieties.
