Grechetto di Orvieto - Weintraube und Blatt

Origin

Its parentage is unknown (according to the VIVC catalogue). Due to some shared synonyms and morphological similarities, it must not be confused with the varieties Maceratino or Pignoletto (with the synonym Grechetto di Todi). According to DNA analyses carried out in 2004, there is a parent-offspring relationship between Grechetto di Orvieto and Pignoletto (ex Wine Grapes), which is why they were previously regarded as two clones of the same variety. DOC regulations often specify only ‘Grechetto’, which leads to confusion and mix-ups with other Grechetto varieties. There is also the red-berried variety Grechetto Rosso, whose origin remains unclear.
