Sciaccarello

Origin

This variety, traditionally grown in Corsica, has been identified as the variety Mammolo, originally from Italy (Tuscany), based on ampelographic and genetic analyses carried out in Montpellier. Based on Italian genetic analyses, Sciacarello would be the result of a crossbreeding between Boggione rosso and Uva delle Vecchie.

Descriptive elements

<p>Only the principal ampelographic elements enabling the varieties to be characterised and identified are provided. They are presented according to the descriptor code recognised by the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV), the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV), the Community Plant Variety Office (OCVV) and Bioversity International (for more information, see the <a href="/en/vocabulaire">"Ampelographic glossary"</a> menu).<br>
The photographs of leaves and grapes were taken in natural conditions, on the vine, in very similar situations in terms of growing conditions (sandy soil, Mediterranean coast):</p>
<ul>
<li>Domaine de l'Espiguette (IFV), Le Grau du Roi (Gard),</li>
<li>Domaine de Vassal (INRAE), Marseillan (Hérault),</li>
<li>La Gaillarde Campus (Institut Agro | Montpellier SupAgro), Montpellier (Hérault).</li>
</ul>
<p>Only a few photographs, including the tips of bunches, were taken in other conditions.</p>

The identification is based on:
- the tip of the young shoot with a high density of prostrate hairs,
- the adult leaves, entire or with three or five lobes, with shallow lower lateral sinuses, a slightly open petiole sinus or with slightly overlapping lobes, medium to long teeth compared to their width at the base with straight sides, a thick, involute leaf blade on the edges, and on the lower side of the leaves, a medium density of erect and prostrate hairs,
- the ellipsoid berries, with red black skin.

Phenology

<p>The growth stages indicated are the result of obsrvations made at the Domaine de Vassal Estate where the set of these varieties form a collection. The results are indicated compared to the Chasselas vine variety as a reference in order to make comparisons between years and different sites. As such, for information purposes, the dates for the Chasselas B growth stage at Domaine de Vassal are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Bud burst, 21 March (average over 50 years)</li>
<li>Grape maturity, 14 August (average over 50 years)</li>
</ul>

Bud burst: 7 days after Chasselas.
Grape maturity: mid-season, 3 weeks after Chasselas.

Suitability for cultivation and agronomic production The data on suitability are the result of field observations or, if none are available, of bibliography mining and the study of bibliographic references.

The data on suitability are the result of field observations or, if none are available, of bibliography mining and the study of bibliographic references.

Sciaccarello displays moderate vigor and is suited to hot southern areas. It must be planted in relatively dry terroirs. Moderate pruning and limited yields are required to obtain quality red wines. When overripe , Sciaccarello berries tend to shrivel quickly.

Susceptibility to diseases and pests These remarks are also the result of field observations or, if none are available, of bibliography mining and study of bibliographic references.

<p>Remarks concerning the characteristics of the wines are generally based on tastings organised by juries of professionals.</p>

The bunches are very large and the berries are large. Sciaccarello produces fine, balanced, not very colored wines, with a good aromatic complexity (strawberry then spicy aromas). This variety has a good sugar accummulation potential while maintaining a fairly good acidity. Sciaccarello is also interesting when blended or for the production of rosé wines.

Clonal selection in France In this section, the list of certified clones is given. Information on clone conservatories is also provided.

The nine certified Sciaccarello clones carry the numbers 744, 834, 874, 875, 907, 930, 961, 1275 and 1276. A conservatory of 60 or so clones was planted in the wine-growing region of Corsica in 2005.
