Cantina Giardino with its Natural wines presents the wine "Primo Aprile" which comes from a native white grape known in the past in Irpinia with the name of "Grecomusc'" but registered since 2009 in the list of native Italian vines with the name of "Rovello" or "rovello bianco".


The name coined by local winemakers is linked to the more famous “Greco” vine, even if it has no kinship with it. It has simply been used for a long time as a blending grape for Greco. Rovello Bianco has a large but sparse bunch and the grape has the singular characteristic that the skin grows out of proportion with respect to the internal pulp and thus generates the unmistakable appearance of flaccid grapes, “Grecomusc'” precisely. This generates a solid/liquid ratio to the detriment of the latter, and generates vinification conditions with a low liquid yield. The Giardino winery vinifies the “Primo Aprile” Rovello Bianco in a natural way.
