Rouge de Fully

The red grape variety originates from the border region between Italy and Switzerland. Synonyms are Durize and Vieux Rouge de Fully.

Parentage

According to DNA analyses carried out in 2011, it originates from a presumed natural cross between Roussin x unknown parent variety (ex Wine Grapes). It should not be confused with the Vien de Nus variety (with the synonym Rouge de Fully). In Switzerland, it is categorised as an Old Growth grape variety.

Characteristics

This late-maturing, low-yielding vine is susceptible to powdery mildew but resistant to botrytis. It reacts sensitively to a lack of magnesium. The variety produces a spicy, tannic and acidic red wine with fruity flavours of blackberries and strawberries.
