Athiri Aspro

The white grape variety originates from Greece. Synonyms are Asprathiri, Asprathiro, Asprothiri, Asprothiro, Athiri, Athiri Lefko, Athiri Leyko and Athyri. The name is reminiscent of its possible origin from Santorini with the main island of Thira.

Athiri-Aspro - Traube und Blätter

Origin

It is said that the variety (like many others) was used for the production of the famous Malvasia wines, which were shipped from the historic Greek port of Monemvasia from as early as the 13th century.

Parentage

The parentage (parentage) is unknown. It must not be confused with the morphologically very similar variety Thrapsathiri. DNA analyses carried out in 2007 disproved that the two varieties are identical. The red variety Athiri Mavro is a colour mutation (or vice versa).
