Vernaccia
Vernaccia
is a white
wine
grape that is found in many
Italian wines
but is most commonly associated the
Tuscan wine
Vernaccia di San Gimignano
.
Ampelographers
have determined that the Vernaccia vine has many clonal varieties but is unrelated to some Italian vines known as "Vernaccia" such as the
Sardinian
varieties used in the
Sherry
-like wine
Vernaccia di Oristano
, the
Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol
red
wine
grape known as
Vernatsch
or the black grape used in the red
sparkling wine
of the
Marche
Vernaccia di Serrapetrona
. A possible reason for this is that the root of the name Vernaccia translate to "
vernacular
" and can apply to any local grape.
