The common genetic history of Italian founding grape varieties. The season of grape discoveries that pierce the veil of mystery that had either to hidden the origin of vine varieties began in nineteen ninety seven with a publication in the journal Nature Genetics. A French American team announced the parents of cabernet sauvignon, tubby cabernet franc, and sauvignon blanc, a perfect synthesis both in DNA and in name. In nineteen ninety nine, chardonnay and dozens of other varieties in Northeast and France were determined to originate from the spontaneous crossing of Pino and Gui. Gueh, a grape variety that arrived in the west with Provo's legions in the fifth century, was until then an unknown grape variety due to its marginal role in European agriculture. However, Gueh was clearly well known in the Middle Ages as evidenced by the dozen of synonyms by which it was called in many multicultural regions from the Balkans to France, including Italy. There are more than a hundred varieties genetically linked with Gueh, including riesling and sovignon. If Gueh can rightly be considered the progenitor or the founder of many European varieties, Italy is also rich in its two thousand year history of great varieties that have given rise to numerous and important progenies such as Garganiga, Montonico, Bombino Bianco, Sanzhouise, Moscati, and Malvasier. Nearly twenty five years after the first discoveries, some Italian research using next generation markers, S and P's was published in frontiers, plan genetics, twenty twenty one and scientific report twenty twenty. This article also expanded the scope of knowledge on the founding varieties of Italian grape germplasm by extending it to the regions of origin of the grape varieties. And the traveled path taken by those grapes. These findings showed that many Italian grape varieties are linked by close kinship relationships that reveal common historical and geographical origins. Over the years, many great varieties have moved to new growing areas, often taking on new naming process. This changing make it very difficult to reconstruct the circulation along the peninsula using only the tools of classical emporography and literary tradition. The reconstruction of pedigrees through parent child and second degree relationships has highlighted the key role of sound vines. In particular, Vesparola, a Vai now semi unknown, was central to the origin of the germplasm of Adriatic Italy, while sangiovese played the same role for Iranian Italy. Stinto Percino and Vesparola represent the central gem types, the founders of Italy's native germplasm, structure in three main centers of diversification with their related grape varieties.

On the Eastern Adriatic host, it was Vesparola, Bombino Bianco, and Garganaga. In northwestern Italy, it was Osolina, turmarina, also known as Shacarlo, and Uvatosca. One can assume a migration of this variety across the peninsula. From south to north and along the eastern and western sides respectively. Within the Muscat family, Moscato Bianco and Zibbo, also known as Moscato de la Sandria, have played key roles in the creation of other muscat flavor varieties in the northwest and in many other areas of Italy. Strinto Vercino and Sanjuviso. Although Strinto Porchino can be still found in Italy today, with a few rare specimens in Vasilicata and Campania. Both territories that fell within the Magna Greta triangle of acclimarization, the existence of numerous synonyms, Portchina Neda dinapoli, Portchiola, Portinola, or Fortinola, cultivated on Vasuvius and Montezoma, porcignola de Vizzuvio, Portcignola de Vellino, suggests that it had a more widespread role in the past in the vista culture of this region. Strinto Portcino and Montecobianco, as well as other Southern Italian grape varieties, Verdone Nero, Carricante, Prunisto, Trebiano, Antico, and Vesparola are all related by second degree kinship, to a small group of nine varieties from Chilento, Southern Campania, all of which are offspring of Alyanico. All these relationships clearly suggest that the kinship groups of Strento Porchino Sanioviso, and Ayanyaniko, come from the same areas of diversification, Sicily, Calabrio, basilicata, and Southern Campania. And the Southwest of Italy more generally. Sanjuviso is a Progyny of Strinto Porchino, and has shown direct kinship relationships with Vesparola and Chilajolo, the child of Sanjuviso. It has shared kinship relationship with cultivars from four Italian regions, basilicata, with Stampacavallo, and Strento Porchino, Calabria, with Castiglio Nedibova, Gallio, Apolio with Negro de Cernera, and a special accessory, Arbanello, Frappato, Lavinola, Orisi Perricone. The ancient Calabrian and sicilian variety, Montónica Bianco, has shown first degree genetic relationships with degree varieties from Vasivicata. Such as Trebiano bianco. Calabrio, Gallipo, and Sicily. The kinship relationships of Montana and Vesparola spread to other vice of Southern Italy such as Caricante, and a small group of vines from Chilento. Other vines that showed important kinship relationships were the progenitor of bambino, and Ssemblix of bambino vianco include coco chola, Mala Tamuro, and Sabuinella. Ayanico does not play a key role in this regard. With ayanico antico, and and with this to Shira. Which is called Circica In Irvina. Listen to the Italian wine podcast wherever you get your podcasts.
