Termarina

The red grape variety originates from Italy. Synonyms are Oltremarina, Tarmarina, Termarina Rossa, Tramarina, Uva di Corinto and Uva Passerina. It was first described in 1840 by a Bertozzi as a variety from Reggio Emilia; at that time there were visibly white and black versions. According to DNA analyses, the variety is not identical to the Corinto Nero (Korinthiaki) variety (as previously suspected), but it is a mutation of the Sciaccarello (Mammolo) variety. Thus, it is not a color mutation of the Termarina Bianca variety (according to Wine Grapes, an independent variety). However, in the VIVC catalogue, Termarina Bianca is stated as a synonym for the white variety Korinthiaki Lefki. The high-yielding vine with seedless yields full-bodied wines with silky tannins and aromas of cherries. It was reintroduced into the official register of varieties as recently as 2007 and is grown in the provinces of Parma and Reggio Emilia of Emilia-Romagna. In 2016, 2 hectares of vines were reported with a strong downward trend (Kym Anderson).
