Ancestry

It was first documented in 1841 as a "typical Dalmatian variety". According to DNA analyses carried out in 2003, it originates from a presumably natural cross between Primitivo (Tribidrag) x Dobričić (ex Wine Grapes; the VIVC catalogue contains no information about the parentage).

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
