Cococciola

Cococciola is a white Italian wine grape variety that is one of the few Italian grape varieties to have its number of plantings increase in the late 20th century at a time when measures to combat Europe's perceived wine surplus and the general decline of viticulture saw the numbers of many varieties decline. Today, Cococciola is a permitted variety in the Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Denominazione di origine controllata (DOC) from the Abruzzo region of central Italy (Ari, Vacri and Rocca San Giovanni) .[1]

For another Italian wine grape also known as Cococciola, see Bombino bianco.
