RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

Verdea is a white Italian wine grape variety that originated in Tuscany but is today mainly grown in the Lombardy wine region of northern Italy. It can be used to make a wide variety of wines, ranging from the late harvested Vin Santo to dry sparkling wines.

Verdea is a mid-ripening grape variety that is often allowed to hang on the vine late into the growing season when its concentrated sugars are desired for the production of dessert wines. The grape has good resistance to the viticultural hazard of botrytis bunch rot which is a benefit for late-harvest and passito wine production.

In 2000, there were 152 hectares (380 acres) of Verdea growing in Italy, the vast majority of it in the Lombardy region around the village of San Colombano al Lambro in the province of Milan. Outside of Lombardy, the grape can also be found growing in the province of Pisa in Tuscany and in the province of Piacenza in the Emilia-Romagna region
