Bariadorgia

Bariadorgia (also known as Carcajolo blanc) is a white Italian/French wine grape variety that likely originated on the island of Sardinia but today is only found in limited planting on Corsica.

Despite similarities in synonyms, Bariadorgia/Carcajolo blanc is not a color mutation of the red Spanish wine grape Parraleta which is also known as Carcajolo near on Sardinia.

[1] While Bariadorgia was first mentioned in 1822 growing in the commune of Sartène on Corsica under the synonym Carcajola, ampelographers such as Gustave Foëx of the Viticultural College at the University of Montpellier and colleague of Pierre Viala have speculated since at least the early 20th century that grape was likely introduced from neighboring Sardinia.

[1] Bariadorgia is a mid-ripening grape variety that needs to be planted on sunny, well-situated sites in warm climate regions in order to achieve full physiological ripeness.

Slightly more significant plantings, but still very isolated, of the grape are found on the neighboring French island of Corsica around the southern communes of Figari and Sartène.
