Comments	Schiava grossa is the most popular cultivar of the Schiava group of grapes and is distinct for its larger bunches and berries. This dark skinned cultivar is native to the Trentino Alto Adige area of Italy. It is known as Vernatsch by the German speakers of Alto Adige and as Trollinger in the German region of Württemburg, where it is widely grown. Schiava grossa is a parent of Kerner, Rotberger and many other cultivars. Robinson et al. WINE GRAPES, pages 972-974 (2012).

Schiava grossa Selections

Information about: Clonal Families, Selection Numbers and Registration Status

	Schiava grossa [01]
Registration Status	Registered
Source	Trentino Alto-Adige, northern Italy, via Rutgers University, New Jersey
Comments	This selection came to Foundation Plant Services in 2012 from Dr. Dan Ward, Viticulture Extension Specialist, Rutgers University in New Jersey. The plant material has been grown in the vineyard at the Agriculture, Research and Extension Center at Rutgers since the early 1990's. The material was imported to Rutgers in the early 1990's from Trentino Alto-Adige, in northern Italy, and came into the United States through the quarantine program at Geneva, New York. It is believed that this clone might be more cold tolerant than other clones of this cultivar. The original material for this clone (Schiava grossa 01) underwent microshoot tip tissue culture therapy at FPS in 2015 and qualified for the Russell Ranch Foundation Vineyard in 2017 as Schiava grossa 01.1.
