The red grape variety comes from Italy. Synonyms are Rossara Gentile, Ross Ciàr, Rossera and Varenzasca. The name refers to the possible place of origin Trentino, as well as the reddish berries. It must not be confused with the Rossara or Rossola Nera varieties, despite the fact that the synonyms or morphological similarities seem to indicate this. There is also no connection to any of the many Schiava varieties (Vernatsch)....
