From Lambrozcadialisandria and Nebula, each of which spawn other grape varieties represent the main parents of the current varietal a sermon of Northwest Italy. The presence of Orselina was documented in the eighteen hundreds among fines in the mountains of the Appenines of Regi Media, Emilia Romania, and it was later described by Acherbi, among varieties from Russia. The large group headed by Orsolina is a result of the meeting of varieties from Northern and Northwest in Italy. This include the Pete Montez, Coquelona, and the German Roa Kalba, mosquato nerodaqui and Vespulina. Barbara and Italian riesling, AKA, Welsh, Riesling, and Grashevina, as well as the kinship of many aromatic vines typical of Northwest, Italy, with the offspring of Moscado bianco, such as Madacero Maticadiparma. The great bornist Georgio, seventeen seventy two, eighteen thirty nine, wrote, quote, Neebiolo is a grape variety belonging to the Alps Stratum surrounding Piedmont. Indelible traces remain of its ancient cultivation in many places in the foothills of the Alps. Visible in the synonyms by which the vine is known and which give us clues to trace its origin. It is called spanna, in the Nevada area. Prunente, in the Osula valley, picotenro with a tender, piccio, in the lower aosta valley, and Cavanasca, two VINasca, suitable for transformation into wine in Valtelina. The name Nebiolo derives from the abandoned layer of wax, bloom, prueena, that covers and protects the berries as a ripen, almost as if they were covered with fog or nebbia. However, it is from the name spanna that the most information about its history is arrived. In fact, the term is likely derived from Spionia, a vine mentioned by the Roman poet Marshall, that was cultivated in Roman times in the Ferara area. Spionia takes its name from Espinos, while Blackthorn. Host bluish fruits are covered with a thick bloom. The name, pronounced, By which Nebula is known in Valdozola is also most likely derived from this origin. Four sub varieties were known in the which were distinguished by bunch and leaf characteristics, but above all, by the quality of the wine they produced. With DNA analysis, the sub varieties were limited to two. The Lampia genotype, which is identical to Miquette, which has picoletro and Kavanaugh as synonyms, and Rosay, which in addition to color, also has very different genetic characteristics to other nebulas. The differences of nebulo Micheta compared to the other three nebulas with which it is genetically synonymous are due to the presence of the grapevine family virus. In fact, after healing and viticultural jargon referred to as remediation, the Micat plan takes on a completely lumpia like parents. Napiola was first documented in twelve hundred sixty six near Turing. Are you enjoying this podcast? Don't forget to visit our YouTube channel.

A group of seven relatives to which Nebula is genetically related has been identified. But none of these varieties is considered the parent of the grape variety. One parent said could be Vespulina and Bubiarasco. Three of these cultivars, Frreza, Vespolina and Bubiarasco, an ancient grape variety recovered in the Salucese area are found in areas of Pienmo and but six others and are varieties long cultivated in Baltimore, although they are uncommon or true relics. Turned out to be the offspring of Nebula and and all wines from Valdelina have been identified as siblings of Naviola. Neiola Rosay, once thought to be a subvariety of Nebula is actually a distinct variety. Civilings of Nebula are porgola, Rosoleta, and Orsonela. All varieties from territories far removed from piedmont. Teroldigo, a Trentino grape variety, is also a half brother of Napiola. First documented in fifteen ninety three in Doyani, is the Progyny of monsang and Dolcito Bianco. An autonomous vine, not a color variant of the monsang is native to the westernmost part of Piedmont and liguria, while Dolceto Bianco was grown in a more limited area in southern pen months. Dolceto would therefore have originated in the present day language where the areas of origin of the two parents overlap or Selena in Emilia originates from Bhotajera, and an unknown genotype that spawned some Northern Appanine cultivars, such as and Cocallonanera is one of the parents of Barbara, while the other is unknown and possibly extinct. The half brothers of Barbara, offspring of Cocaona, are Ovarara, Mosquatoneirodaca, Vespulina, and Raseling italia. Some of which have long been cultivated in Altra popa Visa. The name Lambrusca de la Sandria might hint at the origin from wild vines confirmed by some characteristics such as disease tolerance, great color, and tanning contents, but it is genetically very far from Lambrusco. Grignolino is the offspring of an unknown genotype, which in turn is the offspring of Nepiolo. The anthocyanin profile of the two grapes is very similar as it did of Frreza, which is the offspring of Nebula and therefore the aunt of Grignorino. Spergola is also a variety genetically related to Nebula. Spergola's growing area is the northern part of the Epanine range. However, Spergola is identical to Vernaca, Iristano. Consider a historic grape variety of Sardinia. Spergola is related to Chitronino and Rapalino. Two minor grapes, attested in Piedmont, and neighboring liguria, further confirming that Vernaca Durystano is not in fact of Sardenian origin. Excluded from this complex picture are some basic grape varieties of typical pigmentation wines. This include the, used to produce verdunno and favorita, or Vermentino, also documented in Piedmont in sixteen fifty eight as Vermentino and Faboria in Ovidese and respectively. It is therefore fair to think of the elactonous origin of this cultivars and of their migration from relatively nearby places. For the Pemontees Pavurita, relations with neighboring liguria might justify its cultivation in southern piedmont. Listen to the Italian wine podcast wherever you get your podcasts.
