The red grape variety (also Rigotti 107-2, Incrocio Rigotti 107-2) is a new breeding between Merlot x Teroldego according to a DNA analysis carried out in 2010. The paternity of Marzemino given in the breeding list turned out to be wrong. Incidentally, the same parents also produced the Rebo variety. The cross was made in 1948 by the botanist Rebo Rigotti at the viticultural institute San Michele all'Adige (Trentino-South Tyrol).
