Italian name for a variety from Maroc (5)

I believe the answer is:

marco

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'italian name for a variety' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'from maroc' is the wordplay.
'from' is an anagram indicator (from the letters).
'maroc' anagrammed gives 'MARCO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for marco that I've seen before include "- - Polo, traveller" , "gondolier" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
