Forest (wild) grapevine Vitis vinifera ssp. Sylvestris Gmel. study in Georgia.
2023
The wild grapevine Vitis vinifera subsp. silvetsris Gmel is considered an immediate ancestor of the cultivated vine Vitis vinivera subsp. sativa D.C. It is a typical plant of the flora of Georgia, which was widely distributed throughout the country in the past. Wild (Krikina, forest) vine forms, together with Georgian varieties, are considered to be the „national wealth“ protected by the State. Within the framework of the research, the ampelographic and ampelometric characteristics of 41 wild vine forms and two control varieties (Saperavi and Cabernet Sauvignon) preserved in the Jighaura collection plantation of the Agricultural Research Center of Georgia were studied; a full ampelographic description of all studied samples was performed; the course of their phenological phases was determined; the ability of rooting and resistance to grape powdery mildew was evaluated; wine made from Krikina vine was evaluated enochemically and organoleptically; Information from expeditions and literary sources was processed in order to study the contemporary area of distribution of this plant.
