Riminese in the book by Viala & Vermorel

The white wine variety Riminese is an autochthonous variety of the island of Corsica . However, its name suggests that it is of Italian origin and comes from the Rimini area. It is therefore assumed by Pierre Galet that it is identical to the Albana variety ; a final review is still pending (as of 2005).

The variety sprouts late, but matures early and produces fine wines with a nice acidity and a comparatively high alcohol content.

Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:

  • The tip of the shoot is hairy with white wool, with a carmine-red tinge. The yellowish-green young leaves are lightly hairy and spotted copper-colored.
  • The very large leaves are five-lobed and deeply indented (see also the article leaf shape ). The stalk bay is closed like a lyre, with the ends overlapping. The sheet is serrated to a point. The teeth are set very closely compared to the grape varieties. The leaf surface (also called blade) is blistered and rough.
  • The cylindrical grape is large, long, shouldered and dense with berries. The round berries are small and whitish-yellow in color.

The vigorous Riminese grape variety sprouts late and matures approx. 25 - 30 days after the Gutedel : it is therefore one of the late-ripening varieties. It is often attacked by gray mold rot. Against powdery mildew , it is quite resistant. Their yield is irregular due to their susceptibility to disease.

Riminese is a variety of the noble grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ).
