Name of the variety. In bold you can find the most used name for the variety, while underneath the synonyms are given. 

Flavour profile. Body refers to how bold the wine feels in the mouth. Alcohol and sugar can enhance this. Fuller body does not necessarily mean higher quality. Alcohol refers to the level of alcohol a grape able to potentially produce. Acidity of course is the level of acidity in the grape, referring to the freshness. Tannins from the grapes in the resulting wine are the only ones considered. White grapes are thus presented without tannins. Sweetness refers to the amount of sugar the grape naturally accumulates. This is closely linked to the alcohol. 

Colour. Referring to the colour of the wines typically made from this grape. For reds we mostly use the colours purple, ruby and garnet. For white lemon-green, lemon and gold. The intensity can go from light to deep. 

Aromas. This lists the most predominant aromas that most wines made of this variety can display. Note that not all wines made of this variety will display all listed aromas. 

Food match. Usually wat grows together, goes together works perfectly. But sometimes it is enlightening to look outside the region and country of origin to find excellent food matches. 

Mostly cultivated. The beautiful thing about southern Italian varieties is that they like to stay in Italy and preferably in the south! If other countries have significant plantings of the variety, they will be listed here.
