Groppello di Revò

The red grape variety originates from Italy (Trentino-Alto Adige). Synonyms are Gropel, Gropel Nones, Groppello Anaune, Groppello Nonesiano and Nosiola Nero. Groppello (Gropel, Gropello) is the name given to several varieties in northern Italy. The name is derived from "Gropo" (knot), which refers to the shape of the grapes.

Groppello di Revò - Weintraube und Blatt

Origin

According to an unverifiable hypothesis, it is a descendant of the Uva raetica variety mentioned by Pliny the Elder (23-79), from which the ancient Raeticum wine was made.

Parentage

The ancestry (parentage) is unknown. It should not be confused with other Groppello varieties or Pignola Valtellinese (Groppello di Breganze) due to the partly identical synonyms or morphological similarities. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2007, Groppello di Revò is a direct descendant of the Valais variety Rèze. Rèze is also a parent of Nosiola, which explains the synonym Groppello Bianco (ex Wine Grapes).
