| Histoire |
The Latin people called "Lambrusca vitis", as reported by Pliny the Elder, a whole series of wild vineyards that gave little and rough acini and were not generally used for vinification. These screws usually grew on the edge of the forests, and their bunches were often plundered by the birds that they liked, from which their nickname "uzeline" or "oseline". The name "Maestri" seems to derive from "Villa Maestri", located in the municipality of San Pancrazio in the province of Parma. |
