Robola

Robola is a white Greek wine grape variety that is grown primarily on the Ionian island of Cephalonia.

Historically the vine was thought to be the same variety as the Friuli wine grape Ribolla and was thought to have been brought to northeast Italy by Venetian merchants trading with Cephalonia in the 13th century.

[2] On Cephalonia, Robola vines are often ungrafted in the limestone soils of the island.

[3] The vine is early ripening and can produce high acid wines with significant phenolic levels.

Wines made from this grape tend to be dry, medium bodied with a distinct lemon note.
