White wine grape · Vitis vinifera
A Mediterranean white wine grape grown in Corsica and Provence for a very long time and recorded by UC Davis as originating in Italy.
Plantgrape says Vermentino has been grown in Corsica and Provence for a very long time and appears to be originally from Italy; in France it may officially be called Rolle, Garbesso or Vermentinu, and in Italy Favorita and Pigato. UC Davis FPS independently lists Italy as its country of origin and Favorita as a common synonym.
Plantgrape describes a rather productive, vigorous southern variety, well adapted to hot areas and to dry, not very fertile terroirs, maturing mid-season. These are attributed descriptions, not irrigation or site prescriptions.
Plantgrape describes Vermentino as a little sensitive to grey rot, moderately sensitive to sour rot and quite sensitive to powdery mildew. These are reference observations, not treatment advice.
