Ancestry

According to DNA analyses carried out in 2021, it is a presumably natural cross between Castellana Blanca x Savagnin Blanc (Traminer). However, this is based on only 20 DNA markers (see under molecular genetics). It should not be confused with the Planta Fina (Damaschino), Godello, Verdejo de Salamanca, Verdejo Serrano, Verdelho or Verdello varieties due to some of the same synonyms or morphological similarities.

If I were to rate websites, you would deserve the highest rating. It is rare to come across websites that provide such a large amount of data and are still so intuitive to use. Respect for the lovingly researched and informatively prepared encyclopedia. Keep it up!
