Forselina

Forselina, also known as Forsellina, Forsellana, Pignola or della Forsella, is an ancient indigenous black grape variety from the Verona area, documented since at least the early nineteenth century. Historical records place it mainly in the hills between the Valpantena and the eastern borders of the province of Verona, where it remains an integral part of the local wine-growing tradition to this day. The vine is vigorous, with an upright growth habit and medium ripening, generally towards the end of September. The bunch is medium-sized, cylindrical, compact, sometimes with a small wing, and has a clearly visible herbaceous stalk. The berry, medium in size and of an irregular ellipsoidal shape, has a blue, pruinose skin, juicy flesh and colourless juice. The leaf is small to medium in size, pentagonal and five-lobed, with a smooth upper surface, a slightly spiderweb-like underside and a leaf blade with a characteristic blistered surface. In the winery, it produces ruby-red wines with a delicately aromatic and fruity profile, featuring notes of red fruit, good savouriness and a balanced structure. Its expression tends to prioritise freshness, harmony and pleasant drinkability over long ageing, and is of particular interest in the traditional blends of Bardolino and Valpolicella. An interesting historical fact is the need to distinguish it from the ‘Forcellina romagnola’, a name referring to the ‘Albana della Forcella’.
