The red grape variety is a new cross between Alphonse Lavallée x Lignan Blanc (Luglienga Bianca). The cross was made in 1956 in France by Paul Truel (1924-2014) on behalf of INRA in Montpellier. The variety was a crossing partner of the new variety Prima (1). The very early ripening vine is mainly used as table grape. It is cultivated in the department of Vaucluse. In 2016, 99 hectares of vineyards were designated (Kym Anderson statistics).
There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
