Schiava Gentile - Weintraube und Blatt

Parentage & progeny

The variety is a member of the heterogeneous Schiava name group. The parentage is unknown (ex VIVC catalogue). According to DNA analyses carried out in 2021, it was a parent of the Lagrein and Malvasia Nera di Bolzano varieties. It should not be confused with the Schiava Grigia or Schiava Lombarda varieties due to partly identical synonyms or morphological similarities. The Roter Urban variety is a colour mutation.
