Clinton is a red variety of hybrid grape. Its phylloxera resistance led to its being planted in small amounts in the eastern Alps, although it imparts a pronounced foxiness and dark red colour to wine made from its juice.^[1]

History

Clinton is a spontaneous cross between the North American species Vitis riparia and Vitis labrusca.^[1] The first seedling was found in New York State by Hugh White^{[disambiguation needed]} in 1835.^[2] After phylloxera arrived in Europe, it was planted in northern Italy, Switzerland^[2] and Austria.

Distribution and Wines

It is grown in Brazil, France, and Italian Switzerland.^[1] In Austria it one of the hybrid grapes used in Uhudler wines. In France it is illegal to sell commercially.^[3] In Italy it is known as Clinton, and is sometimes confused with the vitis x labruscana variety Isabella, known as "Fragola" (strawberry) in Italy. Ubriaco al Fragola Clinto is a Veneto cheese rubbed with the must of Fragola and Clinton.

Vine and Viticulture

It is a vigorous and early-maturing variety with small, black berries. It is very resistant to phylloxera.

Synonyms

Bacchus, Clinton Rose, Plant Des Carmes, Plant Pouzin, Vorthington, Worthington, Zephirin,^[4] Clinto, Erdbeerer, Fragola.^[2]
