List of grape varieties

Incrocio Terzi N. 1 (also Incrocio Terzi No 1 ) is a red wine variety from Italy . It is a new breed of the Bergamasque oenologist and winemaker Riccardo Terzi († 1963) from a cross between the varieties Barbera and Cabernet Franc. The grape variety is grown in the Lombardy region , especially in the provinces of Bergamo and Brescia , where its cultivation is recommended for the production of quality wines, and in the province of Sondrio , where it is approved for cultivation. The grape variety is legally recognized for the DOC wines Capriano del Colle Rosso (max. 15%) and Cellatica (min. 10%), as well as for the IGT wine Bergamasca. It is usually expanded in a blend with the grape varieties Barbera, Merlot , Schiava (either Trollinger or Vernatsch ) and Marzemino . In the mid-1990s, the area under vines was 203 hectares .

Single-variety red wines have an intense ruby ​​red color and are rich in alcohol. The tannin content is only moderately high but the wines are full- bodied .

Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:

  • The medium-sized leaves are almost pentagonal, five-lobed and moderately deeply indented.
  • The cone-shaped grape is medium-sized and moderately dense. The round berries are medium-sized and blue-black in color. The juice of the berry is not colored and has a neutral taste.

The vigorous variety produces consistently good yields, so that targeted vine training should reduce the yield in order to achieve good wine quality. Incrocio Terzi N. 1 has good resistance to gray mold rot , so that the berries can be kept on the cane for a long time and can therefore ripen well. In their area of ​​distribution, the harvest usually takes place at the beginning of October. However, the variety is sensitive to the fungal diseases of powdery mildew and downy mildew of the grapevine .
