Nasco

The white grape variety originates from the island of Sardinia(Italy). According to a local dialect, the name is derived from the typical musky aroma of the ripe berries. Synonyms are Basco Bianco, Nasco Bianco, Nasco di Sardegna, Nascu, Nasko Sardinskii, Nusco, Ogu de Aranna and Resu.

Nasco - Traube und Blatt

Origin & parentage

As with many other Sardinian varieties, it is thought to have been introduced to the island during the Spanish occupation (1323-1720). The parentage (parentage) is unknown. It should not be confused with the Nascetta variety due to morphological and name similarities.

Characteristics

The medium to late ripening vine is moderately resistant to winter frost and both types of mildew. It produces fresh white wines with aromas of dried fruit, apricots and spices.
