There are two colour varieties with white (Aspro, Beli, Lefko) and pink (Kokkino) berries. According to DNA analyses, it is a parent of the Zakynthino variety. However, the parentage is unknown. The late-maturing vine is resistant to drought and downy mildew. It is mainly cultivated on the island of Zakynthos and in the north-western Peloponnese. However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
