[edit] Name change

I propose that this article is renamed to Corbeau. In the light of the genetic evidence, it makes sense to use the original names, of which Corbeau seems to be the most widely used (eg Jancis Robinson, www.jancisrobinson.com/articles/20070223). Either that, or you go by the name used in the main area where it is grown, and the only one you are likely to see at retail - Bonarda from Argentina. Charbono is just a corruption of an earlier name, used only in one region which only grows 62 acres (compared to 30,000-odd acres in Argentina). It's irrelevant to Wikipedians except in one small corner of the world.

I guess the only other option would be if the evidence for identity with Dolcetto was convincing enough to justify subsuming this article into Dolcetto - has anyone seen a definitive answer to this point? I've seen everything from Corbeau is identical to Dolcetto, they are related, or they may be related. FlagSteward 04:38, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I haven't seen anything but it is an interesting scenario. Right now I'm partial to Corbeau but I would like to see more info on it. Though ideally, it would be great to incorporate more of that info into the article (with the sources cited, of course). It would help to flesh out the article from being a stub and would probably give a clearer picture of what the article should be named. Agne^Cheese/^Wine 06:13, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
