Welschriesling, a white wine grape, is not related to Riesling. The grape is widely planted in Europe. In Croatia, Welschriesling is called Grasevina and is the most common white wine grape. In Austria, this grape is used to make all kinds of wine, from botrytized dessert wines to dry sparklers. The province of Styria especially is a good spot for the grape. The grape is also grown in parts of the Czech Republic, Slovenia, and Italy, where it is known as Riesling Italico.
