Arvesiniadu

Arvesiniadu or Arvisionadu is a rare native white Italian wine grape variety that is grown on the island of Sardinia.

It is usually used in blends but can also be made into sweet or dry varietal style wines under the Indicazione geografica tipica (IGT) designation of Isola dei Nuraghi.

[2] The first documented mentioning of the Arvesiniadu grape was in Italian wine writer Andrea Manca dell'Arca's 1780 treatise on agriculture in Sardinia.

[1] As first noted in Manca dell'Arca's 18th century book, Arvesiniadu is a late-ripening grape variety that can be very vigorous and prone to producing excessive foliage if not properly cared for by canopy management techniques.

Under the IGT designation of Isola dei Nuraghi the grape can be made a varietal in either dry or sweet passito style.
