Kéknyelű is a white Hungarian wine grape planted primarily in the Badacsony wine region near Lake Balaton. The grape produces full bodied, smokey wines. [1]
It was assumed to be identical with the Italian grape variety Picolit. [2][ failed verification] Nonetheless, in 2006 isoenzymes and microsatellite analyses have confirmed that these two cultivars are different. [3]
