Neretta Cuneese

The red grape variety originates from Italy. Synonyms are Freisa, Freisa di Nizza, Freisa Grossa, Freisa Mora, Freisone, Neretta, Neretto, Neretto del Beinale and Neretto di Cavaglià. It was first documented in 1787 by the ampelographer Giuseppe Nuvolone Pergamo in his catalogue of grape varieties.

Neretta Cuneese - Weintraube und Blatt

Parentage

The parentage is unknown. Despite some synonyms and morphological similarities, it should not be confused with the Bonarda Piemontese, Freisa or Neretto varieties (see there).

Characteristics

This medium to late ripening, high-yielding vine is particularly resistant to frost and grape rot and moderately resistant to fungal diseases, but susceptible to brushwood disease. It produces simple, low-alcohol red wines, which are mainly used for blending. Due to its high yields, it is considered the "poor man's vine".
