Uva del Fantini

The red grape variety (also Granadera) comes from Italy. It was named after the vintner Luigi Fantini, who had discovered an approximately 100-year-old vine near the municipality of Pianoro (Bologna), Emilia-Romagna region, in 1961. It fell into oblivion again before it was finally rediscovered in 2000 by the ampelographer Stefano Galli. The parentage (parentage) is unknown. The late-ripening vine yields ruby-red wines with aromas of flowers, red fruits and black cherries. It is grown in tiny quantities in the province of Brindisi, Puglia. In 2016, 0.1 hectares of vines were recorded there (Kym Anderson statistics).
