Veltliner Rosso RARE GRAPE pink

Its grape cluster—sometimes golden and flecked with red streaks, at other times pinkish or red—is a beautiful sight.

 

It is one of Austria’s most important varieties and is still widely cultivated in the Wachau and Styria regions.

 

Until the 1960s, it was grown in Trentino even at very high altitudes.

 

Over the last fifty years, it was hastily replaced by higher-yielding varieties, yet it remains one of the most intriguing historic grape varieties.
