Most likely a mutation of Pinot Noir, this grape variety is mostly grown in Northern Italy, mainly in Veneto and Friuli. In Puglia, in some specific soils and with proper care, it can produce fresh, fruity wines, perfect to enjoy during an aperitif on a warm summer evening, or with traditional Salento seafood dishes
