Marzemina Bianca

The white grape variety originates from Italy. Synonyms are Berzemina di Breganze, Champagna, Champagne, Colombina, Frutignan, Sampagna and Sciampagna. However, there is no link to Champagne, where it is not cultivated.

Marzemina Bianca - Weintraube und Blatt

Origin

The old variety was described in 1793 by Pietro Caronelli (1736-1801), President of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences of Conegliano) as the "queen of grapes". At that time it was widespread in Veneto.

Ancestry

According to DNA analyses carried out in 2021, the variety originates from a presumably natural cross between Garganega x unknown parent variety. It should not be confused with the Chasselas variety (synonym Marzemina Niduca). The Raboso Veronese variety is a direct descendant of a presumably natural cross.
