Description

A grape variety originally from the Médoc area of France, which spread to California and to some Greek and Italian regions, particularly in the Ager Romanus and Agro Pontino areas, where it is used to make wines of far higher quality than those of the area of origin, where its cultivation has gradually been abandoned. Petit Verdot is a very demanding grape variety in terms of ripening and it gives excellent results in areas characterised by warm, sunny, breezy climates with low levels of rainfall during the vegetative phase.
