Italy's most planted variety, a descendant of Ciliegiolo × Calabrese di Montenuovo.
High-altitude Queensland region (600-1,300 m), among the country's highest vineyards on granitic soils.

Firm Cabernet, ample Chardonnay. "Strange Birds" alternative speciality: saline Albariño, dense Saperavi, floral Fiano, smoky Pinotage.
