The white grape variety (also Barbarossa Toscana) originates from Italy. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2013, the pink-berried vine originates from a presumably natural cross between Sciaccarello (Mammolo) x unknown partner. Whether there is a possible genetic relationship to the white-berry variety Verdicchio Bianco is also unknown. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
