Calitor
Historic grape variety of the Rhône Valley, listed exclusively in the AOC Tavel specifications, it is a grape variety that is no longer planted today. Its name probably comes from the Provençal col (peduncle) and tor (twisted), because of its bent peduncle (the stem connecting the cluster to the branch).
