There are two grape varieties named after the municipality south of Lake Garda in Lombardy (Italy):
The red grape variety is a new variety between Chatus (Nebbiolo di Dronero) x Dolcetto. Synonyms are Dalmasso 7-21, Incrocio Dalmasso VII/21 and S. Martino, which was confirmed according to DNA analyses carried out in 2017. The cross was made in 1936 in Conegliano (Veneto) by the breeder Giovanni Dalmasso (1886-1974). The new Passau and Valentino Nero varieties also originated from the same parents. The variety is cultivated in Piedmont. In 2016, 6 hectares of vineyards were designated with a downward trend (Kym Anderson).
