The white grape variety is a new cross-breed between Csaba Gyöngye x Afus Ali. DNA analyses carried out in 2013 revealed the parentage with Coarnă Neagră O.P. given in the breeding list to be false. The cross was made in Romania by the breeders D. Danulescu, G. Sandu-Ville and Gh. Popescu. The variety is used as a winepress and table grape. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
