Prodest

This red grape variety is a new cross between Merlot x Barbera. Synonyms are Cosmo 109 and Incrocio Cosmo 109. The cross was made in Italy in 1976 by the breeder Italo Cosmo at the Institute in Conegliano. Incidentally, the same parents also produced the Nigra variety. The medium ripening vine is moderately resistant to fungal diseases. It produces full-bodied, tannin-accentuated red wines with ageing potential. The variety is cultivated in Veneto. However, no stocks were reported in 20160 (Kym Anderson statistics).
