This medium to late ripening vine is grown almost exclusively in the province of Latina in the region of Lazio. It is permitted in the Cori and Castelli Romani DOC wines. In 2016, 58 hectares of vines were reported with a strong downward trend (Kym Anderson statistics).

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.
