RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

"In the past, historical grape varieties were imported into our wine-growing regions several times. The autochthonously valuable heat artist probably came from Styria or Croatia in the late Middle Ages. There was also a German settlement, the Liebfrauen, near Hateg in Transylvania, called Sintamaria-Orlea in Romanian. Based on its synonym "Black Orleans", the Zinfandel, like the Worms Liebfrauenmilch, possibly goes back to an export from Orlea or Liebfrauen in Transylvania."

Widespread in Italy and the United States

(As there are numerous producers, we have listed a few from less exported sources - see below)
