The red grape variety originates from Turkey; the name means "Grandfather Dede Siyahi". Synonyms are Hasandede and Hasandede Noir. Nothing is known about the ancestry (parentage) or a possible genetic relationship to the white variety Hasandede Beyazi. The variety produces red wines with a strong colour and alcohol content. It is cultivated in the province of Kirikkale east of Ankara in central Anatolia. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).
The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
