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). The name is said to be of Greek origin. According to one hypothesis, the wine of the ancient Olympic champions, the Krimisa, was made from this variety. However, there is no DNA match with Greek grape varieties.
