Uva della Cascina

The red grape variety originates from Italy; the name means "farm grape". Synonyms are Uva Cascina and Uva delle Cascine. According to DNA analyses, it comes from a presumably natural cross between Bianchetta di Frascata x Vermiglio. The early-maturing, low-yielding vine produces rich, fragrant red wines with a discreet muscat tone. The variety, which was already considered extinct, was reactivated by local producers. It is now cultivated again in small quantities in the province of Pavia in the Italian region of Lombardy. There it is used in blends with other varieties such as Barbera, Croatina, Moradella and Ughetta (Vespolina). It is also permitted in the DOC wine Oltrepò Pavese, among others. However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
