The most important facts about the Ancellotta variety at a glance<\/h2>\n\n\n- Ancellotta is grown on almost 4’700 hectares of land worldwide, but mainly in the Italian regions of Emilia Romagna and Lombardy on 1’700 hectares (followed by Brazil with just under 1’000 hectares). It is also authorised as a product for viticulture in Piedmont, Veneto, Friuli, Tuscany and Sardinia. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The grapes produce a wine that is characterised by its dark colour, pronounced fruit and low acidity. Not least because of its dark colour, the grape is very well suited as a colouring grape for products that are marketed as assemblages. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Origin<\/h2>\n\n
Ancellotta is considered a close relative of the Lambrusco family. It is an old grape variety from Emilia Romagna, a parent variety cannot be proven and there is little information about its origin. Despite its limited distribution, it belongs to the noble grapevines(Vitis vinifera<\/em> subsp. vinifera<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n![\"Ancellotta](\"https:\/\/www.mathier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ancellotta_region_italien_alter_holztisch_weinglas_weinflasche-1024x576.jpg\")

The five-lobed, deeply indented leaves are medium-sized. The grapes are pyramid-shaped and of medium density. The vine often also forms a wing with small clusters.

<\/figure>\n\nUtilisation<\/h2>\n\nWine type<\/h3>\n\n

Another product obtained from the variety is a very fruity, dark-coloured grape juice. <\/p>\n\n![\"Ancellotta](\"https:\/\/www.mathier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ancellotta_rotwein_im_glas_karaffe-1024x576.jpg\")
