Comments The primary or preferred name for this black wine grape cultivar in most sources is Rossignola. Rossiola, a synonym name shown on the Vitis International Variety Catalogue, was the name associated with the selection Rossiola FPS 01.1 when it was imported to the United States in the early 1990's. Rossignola (Rossiola) reportedly produces wine with high acidity and is used in blends in the Veneto. Robinson et al. WINE GRAPES, page 914 (2012).
