Servanin is a red French wine grape variety grown predominantly in the Isère department in eastern France. While the variety has a long history in the region, plantings have been steadily declining since the early 20th century with the vine now close to extinction.[1]
In the 20th century, ampelographers Louis Levadoux and (decades later) Linda Bisson categorized Servanin as a member of the Pelorsien eco-geogroup along with Bia blanc, Béclan, Dureza, Exbrayat, Durif, Jacquère, Mondeuse blanche, Peloursin, Joubertin and Verdesse.[2]
Over the years Servanin has been known under a variety of synonyms including: Martelet, Persagne Douce, Petite Mondeuse, Salagnin, Sérène, Servagin, Servagneien, Servagnie, Servagnien, Servagnien des Avenières, Servagnin, Servanien and Servani.[3]
