Vega (grape)
Vega (also known as Incrocio Dalmasso 2/26) is a white
Veneto wine region of northeast Italy, the grape has slowly spread since its release. As of 2000, there were 28 hectares (69 acres) of Vega planted throughout Italy.[1]
Viticulture
Unlike its parent varieties Furmint, which is often used in the production of
early ripening grapevine with very lightly colored berries.[1]
Wine regions
As Vega was created and first propagated in the Veneto region, most of the 28 hectares (69 acres) of the vine reported in the official 2000 Italian agriculture census are found in this region of northeast Italy.[1]
Synonyms
As a relatively recent crossing, the only synonyms recognized by the Vitis International Variety Catalogue (VIVC) for Vega are its breeding codes, Dalmasso 2-26, I.D. 2/26 and Incrocio Dalmassso II/26.[2]
