Red wine grape · Vitis vinifera
A red wine grape from Tuscany, Italy, grown in Corsica under the name Nielluccio.
Plantgrape registers this variety in France as Nielluccio, traditionally grown in Corsica and originally from Tuscany, where it is grown as Sangiovese. UC Davis FPS independently records Sangiovese with Italy as its country of origin and lists Nielluccio and Prugnolo gentile among its synonyms.
Plantgrape describes Nielluccio as moderately vigorous with early budburst, resisting drought well and appearing adapted to low-fertility soils. These observations come from the French reference's context; they are not a moisture target or irrigation schedule.
Plantgrape notes susceptibility to flavescence dorée, moderate susceptibility to powdery mildew and low sensitivity to grey rot. Those are reference observations, not disease-management advice.
