Rosetta

The white grape variety (also Freiburg 991-60) is a new breeding between Seyve-Villard 12-375 (Villard Blanc) x Siegerrebe. It contains genes from Vitis berlandieri, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1960 by Dr. Johannes Zimmermann (1907-1998) at the State Viticultural Institute in Freiburg (Baden-Württemberg). The medium to late ripening vine is mainly used as a table grape and ornamental vine. Surprisingly, however, it is said to be used as a wine grape in the US state of Iowa. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).
