According to the International Passport<\/span> [1] VIVC<\/span>,<\/span> Feteasca alba<\/span><\/i> is a<\/span> Romanian variety<\/span> of white grapes for wine. Accepted synonyms[2] <\/span> labelling for wines produced in Romania are<\/span> Poama Fetei, Pasareasca alba, Madchentraube, Leanyka, Leanka<\/span><\/i> .<\/span><\/p>

Feteasca alba<\/span><\/i> is a parent for:<\/span> Feteasca regala, Rosina<\/span><\/i> and<\/span> Zefir<\/span><\/i>. These new varieties were developed by specialists in Romania and Hungary, so they are obtained by <\/span>hybridization<\/span> controlled. According to known data, the parents of the Romanian variety <\/span>Feteasca regala <\/span><\/i>are (mother) <\/span>Feteasca alba<\/span><\/i> and (father) <\/span>Francuse<\/span><\/i>. <\/span>Parents<\/span> Romanian variety <\/span>Rosina<\/span><\/i> are (mother) <\/span>Garonnet<\/span><\/i> and (father) <\/span>Feteasca alba<\/span><\/i>. Hungarian variety <\/span>Zefir\/ Zephyr\/ Badacsony 2<\/span><\/i> , has as parents (mother)<\/span> Harslevelue\/ Frunza de tei<\/span><\/i> and (father)<\/span> Feteasca alba<\/span><\/i> .<\/span><\/p>

Rosina<\/span><\/i> has in the ascendant after the mother<\/span> Garonnet<\/span><\/i> , Siebel<\/span><\/i> interspecific hybrid genes<\/span> from which we can deduce that it has many similarities with the resistant varieties created by German researchers, the so-called<\/span> PIWI<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>

Zefir<\/span><\/i>is descended from <\/span>Harslevelue<\/span><\/i> mother a variety known to us as well, <\/span>Furmint<\/span><\/i>, from which we can deduce that it would lend itself to the harvesting at the time of the grapes\u2019 ennoblement, that moment when the grapes are attacked by the noble rot, which makes them sweeter and with specific aromas of overripe, honey and caramel.<\/span><\/p>

The <\/span>Feteasca alba<\/span><\/i> is extremely sensitive (score 1 on a scale of 1 to 10) to downy mildew attack (<\/span>Plasmopara viticola L.<\/span><\/i>.), powdery mildew (<\/span>Erysiphe necator Schwein<\/span><\/i>.), certain variants of cercosporiosis (<\/span>Cercospora sp.<\/span><\/i>.) on leaves and grey rot (<\/span>Botrytis cinerea Pers.<\/span><\/i>) on bunches. It is very sensitive to powdery mildew on bunches (note 2) and relatively resistant to anthracnose <\/span>Elsino\u00eb ampelina Shear.<\/span><\/i>.) (note 7). These properties of resistance\/sensitivity recommend <\/span>Feteasca regala<\/span><\/i> for aery areas with well-drained soils, with careful monitoring of damage thresholds for diseases to which it is particularly susceptible, especially in the early phenophase, when any level of infection pressure can endanger the entire crop.<\/span><\/p>

The <\/span>Feteasca alba<\/span><\/i> is known in Slovakia as <\/span>Leanka<\/span><\/i>, in Hungary <\/span>Le\u00e1nyka<\/span><\/i>in German-speaking countries <\/span>M\u00e4dchentraube<\/span><\/i> and in Bulgaria <\/span>Fetiaska alba<\/span><\/i>. <\/span><\/p>

The rest of the world knows it as we call it, <\/span>Feteasca alba<\/span><\/i>, a variety that is best expressed in Transylvania and Banat, but could be a challenge for other wine-growing areas, which would perhaps give it new values and successfully registers it among the emblematic wines for <\/span>wineries in Romania<\/span> that would have it in their portfolio.<\/span><\/p>

Romania is the largest grower of<\/span> Feteasca alba<\/span><\/i> (12,034 ha), according to<\/span> ONVPV<\/span>, followed by Ukraine (over 1600 ha), according to the latest data from the<\/span> VIVC<\/span>.<\/span> <\/p>

Tasting Feteasca alba <\/span><\/i><\/span> it\u2019s like having summer in your glasses, with its meadow grass, with the bees swarming among the white flowers, with the dewy mornings and soft sunshine\u2026 But why don\u2019t you try to find your own taste card for this <\/span>Romanian variety<\/span> and let\u2019s fill out his passport together with the deserved description!<\/span><\/p>
