Charbono is an Italian grape variety grown in Piedmont, Italy. DNA from vines grown in California under the name Charbono does not match the DNA of the Italian grapes Charbono or Dolcetto, which goes by the synonym of Charbono. The vines grown in California in the name of Charbono have been determined to be a French grape variety. DNA from the California Charbono vines (grown at Foundation Plant Services, UC Davis) matches that of a French variety known as Corbeau (Savoie region, French Alps). Moreover, the variety grown in Argentina in the name Bonarda has also been identified as synonymous with the French grape Corbeau. L. Martinez, P. Cavagnaro, J-M Boursiquot, and C. Aguero. 2008.

Vineyard in Napa, California |
| Comments |
Charbono FPS 03.1 and 04 came to Foundation Plant Services around 1960 and are from the same vine (block 7 vine 18)in a vineyard in Napa, California. FPS 03.1 and 04 underwent heat treatment therapy for different periods of time at FPS in 1964. The original material for FPS 03.1 underwent microshoot tip tissue culture therapy at FPS in 2012 and qualified for the Russell Ranch Foundation Vineyard where it was planted in 2016.
Charbono FPS 05, 06 and 07 are from separate vines in the former UC Foothill Experiment Station vineyard near Jackson, California. All FPS selections match a French reference for an extinct variety named Corbeau using DNA identification analysis. Corbeau was found in the Savoie region of the French Alps. FPS has designated Charbono as the primary name for these selections, with Corbeau as a synonym name.
There is a second variety known as Charbono that is grown in Italy. Charbono is a synonym for a grape variety with the primary name of Dolcetto. The French ampelographer, Jean Michel Boursiquot, and Italian ampelographer, Anna Schneider, both opined that the FPS Charbono selections look different from the Italian Charbono. |
