The first evidence of Baratuciàt’s presence in the area between the lower part of the Susa Valley and the nearby lowland dates back to the end of XIX century, when a white “Berlon 'd ciat” is mentioned as little cultivated in the municipality of Villarbasse (Commissione ampelografica della Provincia di Torino, 1877). Under the name Berlon 'd gat, Giovanni Dalmasso in his "Studi Ampelografici nell’Astigiano" (1909), describes a white grape variety widely grown mainly in Govone and in neighboring municipalities (Asti province), whose morphological features, however, do not correspond to the ones of Baratuciàt, therefore indicating two different varieties.
