Origin & parentage

Like many other Sardinian varieties, it may have been introduced from Spain during the Spanish occupation (1323-1720). According to DNA analyses carried out in 2021, it originates from a presumably natural cross between Hebén x unknown parent variety. It should not be confused with the varieties Monica Nera, Nieddera or Pascale due to some of the same synonyms or morphological similarities.
