The white grape variety originates from Greece; it probably comes from one of the Ionian Islands. Synonyms are Galbenâ Mâruntâ, Kako Tryghi, Katotrichi, Kakotriguis, Kakotriki, Kakotriyis and Kakotryghis.
According to DNA analyses carried out in 2021, it originates from a presumably natural cross between Kosinjot x unknown father variety. There is also a red berry variety or mutation called Kakotrygis Kokkino.
The early-maturing vine is susceptible to downy mildew. It produces high-alcohol white wines with moderate acidity.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
