The red grape variety originates from Italy and is one of the numerous Lambrusco varieties. Synonyms are Lambrusco Bardi, Lambrusco Corbelli and Lambrusco di Rivalta. The parentage is unknown. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2005, it is not (as long suspected) closely related or identical to the Marzemino variety. The variety probably originates from the province of Reggio Emilia in the Emilia-Romagna region. The medium-maturing, high-yielding vine produces deep-coloured, tannin-rich and aromatic red wines. These are used for still and sparkling wines. It is permitted in the DOC wine Lambrusco Reggiano. in 2016, only three hectares of vines were recorded (Kym Anderson).
