The red grape variety (also Rigotti 123-4) is a new breeding between Carmenère x Teroldego. In a DNA analysis carried out in 2000, the parentage Cabernet Franc x Marzemino given in the breeding list turned out to be wrong. However, this is based on only eight DNA markers (see Molecular Genetics). The cross was made in 1950 by the Italian botanist Rebo Rigotti at the viticultural institute San Michele all'Adige ( Trentino-South Tyrol region).
