التعريف

A grape variety native to its region of cultivation.

بالتفصيل

Autochthonous grapes evolved in or have been cultivated for centuries in their homeland. Italy has the most — Nebbiolo in Piedmont, Sangiovese in Tuscany, Nero d'Avola in Sicily. Greece, Georgia, Portugal, and Spain also boast rich indigenous variety heritages. The global trend toward international varieties threatens these unique genetic treasures.
