Perricone

Perricone (also known as Pignatello) is a red Italian wine grape variety that is grown in Sicily. In the late 20th century there was around 1000 hectares/2,500 acres of the grape planted throughout the island. Red berry flavors and medium alcohol content are commonly attributed to Perricone wines, but Oz Clarke describes them as full-bodied and alcoholic.

For another grape known as Perricone, see Barbera. For the name, see Perricone (surname). "Guarnaccia nera" redirects here; for another grape, see Magliocco Dolce.
