…is an Italian vine, a blue Tuscan vine. With regional changes, in Italy there are various forms.
This species was first mentioned around 1600 in a treatise by Giovanni Vittorio Soderini on viticulture in Tuscany with the synonym Sangiogheto. The name probably derives from Sanguis Jovis or blood from Jupiter.
