“…Humans played an important role in propagating grapevine cultivars throughout the Mediterranean basin (Labra et al 2002b). This is not excluded in the case of wild grapevine, but no evidence is available on its occurrence and frequency.…”

The distribution of Vitis vinifera subsp. silvestris, the wild grapevine subspecies of Vitis vinifera L., has been dramatically reduced in its major sites of diffusion, at first by the spread, over the last 150 years, of pathogens from North America and, more recently, with fragmentation of habitat and disbranching by humans. In this work, 418 wild grapevine samples, belonging to 78 populations, were collected in their main Mediterranean distribution areas, including the Caucasus area, and the extent of their genetic variability evaluated by analysing plastid microsatellite DNA polymorphism. Results show low haplotype diversity value, with five haplotypes detected within the analysed populations. The highest within-population haplotypic diversity, with the presence of all five detected haplotypes, was found in the Caucasus regions and in the central regions of Italy. The distribution of all detected haplotypes suggests the Caucasian region as the possible center of origin of Vitis vinifera subsp. silvestris. A principal plastid lineage was found to be fixed in several locations, in the Northernmost European countries and in the Southern island of Sardinia. These results draw attention to two different refugium sites in the Mediterranean basin and suggest that conservation priority should be given to grapevine populations still preserved in hotspots of these regions.

The origin of the grapevine, Vitis vinifera L. (ssp.) sativa has been investigated with archaeobotanicalarchaeological, cultural and historical data indicating a unique domestication centre located in the Caucasian and Middel-East regions about 6-7000 years ago, but, events leading to the domestication of this species are still an open issue. In this work, eight universal chloroplast microsatellites are used to assess genetic relationships among varieties selected as representatives of four distinct geographical groups from Middle-East to Western European regions. Results show that two out of the eight analysed chloroplast loci are polymorphic within the 142 individuals. Allele variants of the cpSSR loci combine in a total of six different haplotypes. The analysis of haplotypes distribution and haplotype diversity (HD) suggest that only three out of the six haplotypes are represented in the Caucasian and Middle-East samples, with 90% of individuals sharing the same haplotype. Moreover, the presence of all six haplotypes in the European accessions, with a high level of haplotype diversity, suggests varietal influx in these areas. Concerning the Western European varieties, especially in Spanish accessions, half of the individuals share haplotype VI which is completely absent in the Caucasian and Middle-East cultivars. This result opens the discussion about the existence of a unique and common domestication centre, located in the Caucasian and MiddleEast area, for all the European cultivars. This work suggests the usefulness of chloroplast genome markers to provide information on haplotype distributions that could help to identify further geographical areas for grapevine varietal evolution.Abbreviations: cpSSRs -chloroplast simple sequence repeats

“…This type of relationship with local growing experts in the domestication of plants, which archaeobotany and genetics have started to highlight [9,10], forced the Greek colonisers to admit their pre-existence (thus the 'perception'). However, since in a Helleniccentric cultural model it is unacceptable that other peoples, outside of Greece, have achieved a significant level of civilisation, Greek culture transformed the local varietal characteristics in distant Hellenic ancestry typicality.…”

Genetic research into grapevines identifies the Third Center of Variety Domestication in central-southern Italy. The many stories written "on wine", even though molecular archaeology, do not mention it. Here we present the application of a different analytical system. Archaeology introduces into Genetics the components of Space (places and materials) and Time (documented history). The genetic relationships of vine varieties combine with those who identified them, places devoted to cultivation and containers for transportation. The Third Center becomes a defined geographical, historical and cultural setting and a macro-terroir, useful to the cultural and production growth of current vine growers. Originally it was called Siritis (from Siris, an Ionian colony in southern Italy with its grapevine varieties named Siricae) then it became Sibaritide, Enotria and finally land of Amineae. The varieties selected here combine and colonise the western Mediterranean. Pinot Noir, Syrah and Aglianico with their genetic relationship are among the examples on which the research is founded. Then it's the first time that grapevines varieties enter directly a history, with their names and not a generic reference to the viticulture. The link of genetics to history gives their correct cultural and chronological location.Keywords: Genetics; Archaeology; Vine variety; Enotria; Pinot; Syrah; Aglianico The Basic Assumption and MethodsIn a context populated by fantasies and suggestions about wine, and the web is full of them, it cannot rely on the randomness of a partial or indistinct knowledge of moments, conditions and situations, if they are documented by written sources and archaeological data. In a proven chain from multi-disciplinary research, these are the basis for setting up viticulture within a Domestication Center, the large geographic and cultural area where wild vines have been changed in domestic varieties, selected and cultivated. The story of each one is a piece of a complex mosaic, varied and intertwined, which sketches out the evolution of viticulture in Mediterranean territories and its expansion inland in Europe [1,2].When a history of the grapevine and wine wants to be truly effective and not only evoking it is essential to have the history of each variety from ancient times to today. Detailed studies, whether into the relative relationships or into the historical and anthropological dynamics that locally has guided the cultivation, distribution and duration of varieties, are the main tools to keep viticulture in close relationship with the territories and produce uniqueness to support market competitiveness. The vine, the grape and the resulting wine are then cultural markers and the terroir becomes the product of the field and the work of the farmer considered in relation to the centuries [3]. Their aim joined to Cultural Heritage comes from their history and now the strict relationship with cultural human evolution and archaeological finds change finally a generic pot for wine into a pot used to trade 'tha...
