Pinot - Wine Grapes

PINOT PEDIGREE DIAGRAM
No fewer than 156 western European grape varieties make up this huge pedigree of natural
crosses, with savagnin, gouais blanc and pinot playing the major roles. Given the
number of varieties that are currently unknown (?), this pedigree is just one of the possible
interpretations of all direct parent–offspring relationships that have been discovered by DNA
parentage analyses (Pinot and teroldego, which have a grandparent–grandchild relationship,
are included to illustrate the unexpected link between Pinot and syrah). It strongly challenges
the commonly assumed independent origins of western European varieties and argues in favour
of a small core set of founder varieties that have given birth through natural crosses to the
significant biodiversity we know today. For the sake of clarity, trebbiano toscano and
folle blanche appear twice in the diagram.
