Volturnis^®

the leaf is medium, orbicular with 3-5 lobes and { base petiolar sinus. Medium or medium-large conical clusters, tendentially compact with 3-4 wings. The berry is medium-to-small of spheroidal shape. Blue-black coloured rather thick skin with thick pruinosity. Soft pulp with neutral flavour.

grapevine with high vigour and semi-upright growth habit.

adaptable to different pruning and trellising systems, but performs best on the Guyot-type trellis.

excellent resistance to downy mildew (Rpv 12), susceptible to powdery mildew as it does not have any of the relative resistance genes. Winter hardiness with resistance up to -20°C.

on a sensorial level Volturnis® wine is similar to the parental variety Pinot Noir. The aromatic profile has intense notes of red mature fruits reminiscent of black cherries and wild strawberries, perceptible also in the aftertaste. The polyphenolic profile is more than excellent for quality, intensity and roundness and for the high anthocyanin content. It is conducive to wines of medium to long refinement period.

in 2020 Volturnis® VCR won the silver medal, with 87 points out of 100, at the International PIWI WINE AWARD in Germany.
