Abstract

In the vineyard area of Kaštela – Trogir many autochthonous grapevine cultivars are cultivated. Among red wine cultivars Babica cultivar has been mostly represented. After DNA analysis proved that Tribidrag is genetically identical with Californian Zinfandel and Italian Primitivo cultivars, its revitalisation has begun. Because of commercial reasons Tribidrag grape growing areas have been increasing while those cultivating Babica and other grape varieties have been gradually decreasing. It has been observed that recently some new difficulties in cultivation of Tribidrag cultivar have appeared, whereas Babica deserves to become the focus of vine growing interest as all the possibilities of its enological potential are not fully exploited.
