The white grape variety (also Pirovano 130) is a new cross between Citronelle x Black Monukka, which was determined by DNA analyses carried out in 2013. The cross was made in Rome in 1923 by the breeder Alberto Piròvano (1884-1973); in the breeding list, the parentage Sciamblese x Sultanina Nera (Black Monukka) appears erroneously. It must not be confused with the varieties Albillo Mayor or Cayetana Blanca (both with synonym Pardina). The vine is used as a winepress and table grape. However, no stock was recorded in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
