The white grape variety (also Morokanella) originates from Cyprus. For unknown reasons the name is derived from "cinnamon"(cinnamon); 'moro' means "small". The variety was rediscovered by the Cypriot oenologist Akis Zambartas. There may be a relationship with the Canella variety, but the parentage (parenthood) is unknown. The variety was widely spread under the Ottoman occupation. It is cultivated in small quantities and used in blends. However, no stock was recorded in 2016 (statistics Kym Anderson).
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.
