Comments	This selection was donated to the public foundation vineyard collection at Foundation Plant Services in 2000 by Carlo Mastroberardino. The plant material was from the Mastroberardino family collection in Atripalda, Italy. The original plant material was subjected to microshoot tip tissue culture therapy in 2002 and was eventually planted in the FPS Classic Foundation Vineyard in 2008 as Piedirosso 01. Piedirosso 01 successfully completed testing under the 2010 Protocol in 2011, after which it was planted in the Russell Ranch Foundation Vineyard as Piedirosso 01.1.
