RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

Negrara is a red Italian wine grape variety grown in north east Italy including the Veneto region where it is a permitted variety in the Denominazione di origine controllata (DOC) wine Amarone. While the grape was once more widely planted in the region its numbers have been steadily declining for most of the late 20th and early 21st century.

Researchers at the San Michele Agricultural Institute considered this wine worthy of bottling—thanks to its color, smoothness, and "aromas reminiscent of Bordeaux"—but only when derived from own-rooted vines; they deemed it "ordinary and unrefined" if produced from grapes grown on American rootstocks.

In any case, it must be distinguished from Negrara Veronese, with which it was often confused.
