Inzolia Nera

The red grape variety originates from Italy. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2014 (De Lorenzis), Inzolia Nera comes from a presumably natural cross between Sangiovese x unknown partner. The white variety Inzolia is not a colour mutation (or vice versa). The presumably very old vine was already mentioned in 1696. In the VIVC catalogue, confusingly, a variety Insolia Nera is given as independent with the synonyms Anzonica Nera, Insolia Niura, Inzolia Nera and Inzolia Nero.

However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).
