Origin & parentage

The variety was first described in 1696 by the botanist Francesco Cupani (1657-1710) under the name Calavrisi, which indicates a Calabrian origin. However, the part of the name used, "Calabrese", has nothing to do with Calabria, but is an Italianisation of the Sicilian dialect name "Calaurisi", which means "grape coming from Avola". The parentage (parentage) is unknown, but DNA analyses show a large number of varieties.
