Domestic and wild grape vines can be distinguished by morphological differences concerning leaves, flowers and fruits, although in most cases, the distinction of wild grape as hindered by gene flow between the two subspecies. Dwight grapevine is a diocetus, flowered liana that grows in North Africa, Europe, and in the near and middle east in areas between thirty degrees and fifty degrees north latitude. In central and eastern Europe, it thrives in mixed the citrus forests at warmer, southern exposure, and wetter forests, Rhine Valley's, Duwar, Durayan, De Daniels, etcetera. Why did the Mediterranean region? It is found mainly in riparian forests, pure or mixed populations dominated by poplars, oaks, alms, Osh, and Elder. In areas with shallow water, pioneer shrub communities with Thomas and only under along the terminal stages of waterways. Currently, wild grape vines have become quite rare due to anthropization of natural spaces, habitat destruction, and fragmentation, lodging, spread of pathogens, heartedly mildew, phylloxera, and hybridization with domestic forms. Potanical classification of wild and cultivated grapes is far from simple. Alexander Negruil, a student of the Russian agronomist, Nikolai Yovanovic Vailov, proposed a necrographic division of cultivated violence between which includes typical caucasian wine grapes, Ponteka, Barchanica, and orientales, which includes varieties representative of the western Mediterranean Basin. The origin of western European wine grapes is explained in two hypothesis. One is represented by reciprocal gene flow between introduced varieties of eastern origin and local wild populations. The other is one in which cultivated grapes have two origins. One in the east, and the other in the west where European vines originated from independent domestication events of eastern wild vines. Vine varieties are the result of a twofold relationship from nature to man, the wild vine, and from man to nature, divine obtained by domestication or by selection of spontaneous process, the consequence of a variety of actions and reactions confused and repeated in everyday life in very small spatial ranges. The domestication and spread of the grapevine have been the subject of much study. After the first vine domestication that in the Caucasus cultivated vine spread southward to anatolia and Egypt. Five thousand years ago to reach major civilizations around the Mediterranean. The North African route to Western Sicily, Sardinia, and Sarnes Pain was led by the phoenicians. To bulk a route to Italy and southern Europe by the weeks followed by the significant contribution of the Romans to Central Europe and to Northern Balkans. However, more recent exchange of buying material in other directions even the opposite direction has made this pattern less accurate. Often, the same varieties were presented in different areas under different names, and this sometimes makes pedigrees difficult to reconstruct. Along with overlapping generations due to crossing events between ancient ancestors, local white vines and modern varieties. In addition, some ancient varieties may have disappeared or are no longer grown or have been replaced by others as a result of disease, such as the Luxara outbreak, or due to the change in demand of the market. It all began in the area between the South Caucasus, the Northern Crescent and Eleventh, with the first domestications of local wild grapevines, about eight thousand year BC. West War dispersal began very early For human migrations and varieties were differentiated for table use or for winemaking. In the Eastern Mediterranean, domestication of wide grapes dates back for millennia. While they Western Europe, it is closer to two millennia. The genetic identity of the best plants that arose from spontaneous crosses was preserved by vegetative propagation. The first paleogenomic documentation of which dates back about one thousand years ago. For example, the seven in. During its spread through the western Mediterranean regions, the grapevine has increased its genetic variability through the contribution of multiple local germs, or through progressive human selection. Several studies support the presence of centers of secondary domestication, or spontaneous hybridizations between cultivated forms and local wide plants, or direct election generated the pattern of modern Western European cultures. Recent research, reconstructed the evolutionary history of the wine grape vine in Europe through the identification of the gene that may have been decisive in the transition from one to cultivated vine as it was responsible for the increase in very size and thus the subject of selection by humans. This discovery shows that all cultivated vines derived from a single domestication event that occurred in the Caucasus present day Georgia, from which table grape varieties were initially derived, and from which wine grape varieties were later brought to Europe. In Italy, the localization of varieties across the country has more cultural than geographical parallels in that the contribution of genetic material of eastern origin has been more significant than in other areas important to view the culture. In France, for example, the role of domestication of wild grapevines in the formation of grape varieties has been more influential than in Italy, where only the Enancio, also known as Jag Leaf, Lambrusco, have shown a genome resulting from a cross between cultivated and wild vines. Italian wine podcast brought to you by mama jumbo shrimp. In the gene pool of the vine grown in Italy, four ancestral contributions are recognized. That is four ancient vine populations that humans in the very distant past help to select and then mix. In addition, it has been found that some of the most widespread and valuable varieties of grapevines, generally varieties from central and northern Europe such as Amina, sovignon, Kabome and Merlo derived from crosses between cultivated vines brought from the East and wild European vines. It is precisely these hybridization events that have occurred independently several times in Europe. That justified the use of the term autochtenous to refer to those varieties that we consider to be native to a particular country or region. But which actually have their roots further back in the countries where the species were originally domesticated. The triangle of acclimatization in Magna Gretcha, where it all began. Magna Gretcha is considered one of the areas that represents Europe's oldest winemaking tradition. In fact, it is believed that this region was one of the most important centers for the spread of Viticulture in the Mediterranean Basin, not only because of the contribution of Greek colonization, but because it is role as a secondary center of fine domestication. The family trees of varietal relationships, reconstructive through genetic comparisons, correspond closely to the affinities between linguistic origins. This family groups indicate that great varieties of Calabrian Hapulian, companion, and sicilian origin have contributed to creating the existing grape varieties of Central Southern Italy. These grapes were witnesses to the oldest Viticulture of Magna Gretcha, and are the founding grapes varieties of our analogical history. Because of its shape, the culture is space where this history began is called the triangle of acclimatization, and includes part of Eastern Sicily, Southern Campania, and Iranian and Yonian Calabrio. Analyzing the kinship relations between some minor virus of mania Greta and varieties of Greek origin, we find synonyms such as and and and and and which indicates that once introduced in Italy, many vines were propagated by local people and with the passing of the years their names were changed. By a later process of varietal circulation, some of these vines moved to a distant territory where they underwent further name changes. For example, from is cultivated in Sardinia and Ultraalpe under the name Karignano. Nerello Mascalise is known in the old vineyards of the province of regio Calabria as or and in union Calabrio as it is synonym with Sanjay. Just like and which are known as and in sicily. Moscato Bianco from Pienmont is known as Moscato de in Campania and in France as Muscatelon. Brakow and Maldaziya are cultivated in Campania under the appalachians of Nerella and San Guinella. Just as one grape is known in Sicily as and in Veneto as Garganaga. Alicante, from the Iranian coast and Sicily, is known under the appalachians of Kanonau, garnacha, and respectively in Sardinia, Spain, France, and Benito. Cecilien is known outside Italy as Mocato di amurgo. Montuanico from Aetna, is known in Calabrio as Mantónico Dibianco. Grequel and Otavianello in Apulia are the same as French, Santol. San Jose is a grape whose offspring or siblings include grape varieties from Calabrio, Montanaicone, and Calio. Apulia, Morilino Del Casentino, Morilino del valcano, Vernach Anera del Valarno, and Sicily, Carricante, Nerello Moscalise, Fropato, perricone, arbanelo, reliquia Bianca, luchignola, or isi. In the molecular characterization of some of Sicily's ancient grape varieties, genetic relationships between the varieties have also been discovered such as Grillo, son of Zibindbo, and Catarato. The DNA can shape of Gricaniko, includes catarato, or and is closely related to other sicilian grape varieties such as Frappato, and some Mediterranean area varieties such as and gardenica. In addition, first degree kinships with Follea Tonda, Morelini Del Casentino, and Valarno, and Bruno, confirm the hypothesis that this great variety has a very important growing area in Tuscany and Corseca, after the initial Calabrian Sicillium one.
