Malvasia Bianca di Candia - Weintraube und Blatt

Origin

Candia is an old name from the Venetian period from the 13th century for the Greek island of Crete. However, there is no historical, botanical or genetic evidence to suggest an origin from there.

Parentage

It is one of the many varieties with the Malvasia part of the name. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2021, it originates from a presumably natural cross between Garganega x unknown parent variety. It should not be confused with the varieties Malvasia Bianca di Piemonte, Malvasia di Candia Aromatica or Malvasia di Lipari (Malvasia Cândida) due to partly identical synonyms or morphological similarities.
