Biancolella
Biancolella is a white Italian wine grape variety grown primarily in the Campania region of southern Italy. It is a permitted grape in a few Campanian Denominazione di origine controllatas (DOCs) but is used mostly as a blending variety.[1] Orsi Family Vineyards in Healdsburg, California, is the first grower of Biancolella in the USA.
