The first written reference to this variety dates back to 1321: in a judgment of the Parliament of Paris a shipment of 1,387 barrels of wine is mentioned half Greek (name that possibly was given to Muscat and Malvasia wines that came from Greece) and half Varnacie (Garnacha), the type of wine that Venetian merchants spread throughout Europe from the year 1204.
