The white grape variety originates from Italy. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2021, it originates from a presumably natural cross between Maiolica x unknown partner (in an analysis carried out in 2010, Bicane x Muscat Blanc were named as parents).The medium to late ripening vine is cultivated in small quantities in the province of Caserta in Campania and is mainly used as a blend. However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).

For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
