Cross, or crossing (incrocio in Italian) is a term for a vine variety created by crossing two vine varieties of the same species, eg. Vitis vinifera. An example is Incrocio Bruni 54 which is a Verdicchio x Sauvignon Blanc cross. Crossings can occur naturally in the wild, but today’s crossings result from human help, to be able to create a commercially viable cultivars with desirable traits (yield, flavour, disease hardiness).
