Synonyms are Brunetta, Neiret, Neiretta di Pinerolo, Neiret, Nerét, Neret de Saut, Neret di San Giors, Nerét Gros, Neretìn, Neretto, Neiretta di Pinerolo, Neret, Neret Ciafi, Neret Gros, Neretin, Neretto de Marengo, Neretto di Piemonte, Neretto di San Giorgio, Neretto Nero, Neretto San Girgio and Pcit.

According to DNA analyses carried out in 2021, the variety originates from a presumably natural cross between Nebbiolo x unknown parent variety. Despite some synonyms and morphological similarities, it should not be confused with one of the many Neretto varieties (see there).

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
