Discover the grape variety: Oseleta

A very old grape variety grown in Italy that almost disappeared because it is a small producer. In France, it is almost unknown. Oseleta is said to be related to corvina, rondinella, garganega, etc. It should not be confused, on the one hand, with the table grape osella - an interspecific cross of German origin - and, on the other hand, with osel(l)a another Italian wine grape variety.
