Most certainly originating from the Swiss Valais - Martigny and Fully vineyards - it is the result of a natural intraspecific crossing between the rèze and a child of the arvine with which it should not be confused. Today, grosse Arvine is practically no longer cultivated and remains completely unknown in France, as in all other wine-producing countries.
