List of grape varieties

Malvasia di Sardegna is a white wine variety and one of many varieties from the Malvasia family in Italy. The variety is very old. The synonym Uva Greca suggests that it was imported by the Greeks. The cultivation of the variety is recommended or approved in all provinces of Sardinia . The island also gave the variety its name.

The late-ripening variety is moderately vigorous and delivers weak to medium yields. The must makes a pleasant white wine with its own character. The wines are included in the DOC wines Malvasia di Bosa , Malvasia delle Lipari and Malvasia di Cagliari . The forested area was around 810 hectares in the early 1990s.

In 2006, scientists from Italy, Spain and Croatia published the results of a DNA analysis that showed that Malvasia di Sardegna is identical to Malvasia di Lipari, Greco di Gerace, Malvasia de Sitges and Malvasia Dubrovacka. Proof of ancestry from Greece has not yet been provided.
