Tamurro

The red grape variety (also Coll d'Tammurr) comes from Italy. Synonyms are Colatamurro and Colatamurro di Pietragalla. According to DNA analyses it comes from a presumably natural cross between Verdone Nero x Bombino Bianco. It was formerly widespread in the Basilicata region in the province of Potenza. The almost extinct variety was rediscovered in Barile (between Bari and Naples). According to an old tale it is said to have originated in France. The late ripening vine is resistant to botrytis, but susceptible to powdery mildew. It produces colourful, tannic red wines, which are mainly used for blending. In 2016 no stocks were reported (statistics Kym Anderson).
