T
he project “PyrrouAmpelos” constitutes a synergy among two companies in the region of Epirus and three
research originations: Zoinos Winery, IPER, the Hellenic Agricultural Organization-Demeter, the University of
Ioannina and the Agricultural University of Athens.
It aims at preserving and promoting the uniqueness of indigenous grapevine genetic resources of the Epirus region
of Greece, through their proper identification and valorization.
The goal of the project is to strengthen the capacity of the regional viti-vinicultural sector to place a variety of
branded products in the market.
The project focuses on:
• localization of autochthonous grapevine varieties (either registered or not registered in the National
Catalogue), ampelographic description and phenotypic evaluation
• genotyping and epigenetic analyses towards developing diagnostic molecular tools for identification,
traceability and stability of genetic resources
• evaluation of the phytosanitary status of the grapevine germplasm
• evaluation of the oenological potential of different grapevine varieties through vinification, chemical
analysis, metabolomic analyses and organoleptic assessments
• generation of a grapevine database with the phenotypic, genetic and epigenetic information complemented
by geo-referenced data.
