Discover the grape variety: Rousseli

Most certainly Provençal and more particularly, as its name indicates, from the Var department. It is in the process of disappearing because it is practically no longer multiplied in nurseries, although it is registered in the Official Catalogue of wine grape varieties, list A. It is probably a descendant of the white gouais and the black ouliven, to be continued! Rousseli is practically unknown in other wine-producing countries, in France it was used both as a table grape and as a wine grape.
