Synonym for the grape variety ; see there.

The white grape variety originates from Italy. Synonyms are Bianchetto, Decanico, Dorana di Venetia, Garganega Bianca, Garganega Comune, Garganega di Gambellara, Garganega Gentile, Garganega Grossa, Garganega Piramidale, Garganega Veronese, Gargania, Garganica, Grecanico, Grecanico Bianco, Grecanico Dorato, Grecenicu Biancu, Lizzara, Ostesa, Ostesona, Recanicu (Italy); Garganega Bijela (Croatia); Malvasía de Manresa (Spain). Despite seemingly suggestive synonyms or morphological similarities, it must not be confused with the varieties Dorona di Venezia, Ribolla Gialla or Vitovska.
