The red grape variety originates from Italy (according to the entry in the VIVC catalogue). However, it is not certain whether an independent (red) variety with this name actually exists. Confusingly, Rossara is also part of the name of other Italian grape varieties such as Molinara, Rossara Trentina and Schiava Lombarda. In 2016, however, no stocks were reported for a variety with this name (Kym Anderson statistics).

I have great respect for the scope and quality of the wein.plus encyclopaedia. It is a unique place to go for crisp, sound information on terms from the world of wine.
