Parentage

The parentage of the vine is unknown. It should not be confused with the Xeromacherouda variety. A direct descendant is Ladikino. It is used for pressing and table grape.

Cultivation areas

The variety is cultivated in the south and west of the mainland, as well as in the Peloponnese, the Ionian Islands(Corfu), Crete and the Cyclades. In Crete, it was used to produce the Malvasia wine, famous in the Middle Ages, which was shipped from the port of Monemvasia in the south-eastern Peloponnese. It is often blended with other indigenous varieties such as Fokiano and Koriostafylo. However, no stocks were identified in 2016 (Kym Anderson).
