Variety of grape
Nosiola (or Groppello bianco) is a white Italian wine grape variety that is grown in the Trentino region north of Lake Garda in the Valle dei Laghi.[1] Here it is used in varietal Denominazione di origine controllata (DOC) wines and as a blending component in wines such as Sorni Bianco from Trento.[2] It is also used to produce a dessert wine in the Vin Santo style from grapes that have been allowed to dry out prior to fermentation.[3]
