The white grape variety originates from Italy. It should not be confused with the genetically different variety Verdello due to the similarity of the name. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2010, it is a presumably natural cross between Nocchianello Peloso a Spiga di Granturco (Nocchianello Bianco) x Verdicchio Bianco (34 DNA markers; see under molecular genetics). No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
