Quagliano

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quagliano is a red wine variety . The very old autochthonous variety comes from Italy. The first mentions can be found in documents from the 17th century, where the wines are described as "black, light and sparkling wine". It is also mentioned in the records of the municipality of Busca from 1721, and in 1876 Hermann Goethe (1837–1911) describes it in his manual of ampelography as a blue, dense berry wine grape. In Piedmont, the variety finds its way into the wines of the Denominazione di origine controllata of the Colline Saluzzesi and the Collio Goriziano . In the municipality of Costigliole Saluzzo , a folk festival is celebrated in her honor on the last weekend in September. Their main cultivation area is divided between the municipalities of Pagno and Piasco and parts of Castiglione Saluzzo, Manta , Verzuolo , Busca , Brondello , Castellar and Saluzzo . There are also small vineyards in Argentina.
