RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

Piccola Nera is a red grape variety native to the border region of Italy and Slovenia, particularly the province of Trieste in Friuli-Venezia Giulia and the Coastal–Karst region of Slovenia, where it is believed to have originated. Named for its small, dark-skinned berries, Piccola Nera is a late-ripening variety that requires careful pruning to manage its vigorous growth and high yields. Known for producing light-bodied red and rosé wines with little aging potential, it is often enjoyed young. In Italy, it is primarily grown in the Carso DOC, where it is blended with Terrano, and can also be used for varietal wines under the Venezia IGT classification. Outside of Italy, limited plantings exist in Slovenia’s Littoral wine region. Occasionally confused with Trollinger in Trentino-Alto Adige, Piccola Nera has a range of synonyms, including Mala Cerna and Petit Raisin, reflecting its historical cultivation across diverse regions.
