The white grape variety originates from Italy; it is one of the many varieties of the large Trebbiano name group. Synonyms are Greco Bianco 1, Trebbiano della Fiamma, Trebbiano di Romagna and Trebbiano Romagnolo Bijeli.

This very old variety was already mentioned in 1303 by Petrus de Crescentiis (1230-1320) in the province of Ravenna. The parentage is unknown. It should not be confused with the Trebbiano Modenese or Verdicchio Bianco varieties due to some of the same synonyms or morphological similarities.
The late-maturing, high-yielding vine is resistant to downy mildew (severe), powdery mildew (less severe) and grape rot. It produces neutral white wines with fresh acidity, which are also suitable for distillation.
