Pelaverga - Weintraube und Blatt

Origin

It is said to have been first mentioned by Pope Paul II (1417-1471), who praised a wine from Pagno and Castellar in the province of Cuneo without giving its name. According to legend, it was introduced here as early as the 8th century by the monks of San Colombano di Bobbio. It was widespread in Piedmont until the 16th century, but was then increasingly displaced by the Barbera and Nebbiolo varieties.

Parentage

The parentage (parentage) is unknown. It should not be confused with the Neretto Duro (Pelaverga) or Pelaverga Piccolo varieties due to some synonyms and morphological similarities.
