Synonyms are Pignoleta Nera, Pignoletta, S 5455, Seibel 5455 and Solara. Genes of Vitis cinerea, Vitis labrusca, Vitis lincecumii, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera are included.

It was a crossing partner (mostly under the breeding number Seibel 5455) of the new varieties Bellandais, Seyve-Villard 18-402, Colobel, Landal Noir, Seibel 13666 and Verdelet.
The wein.plus encyclopaedia is a comprehensive, well-researched reference work. Available anytime and anywhere, it has become an indispensable part of teaching, used by students and myself alike. Highly recommended!
