Alb aromat<\/i><\/b> is the first and only name in the Passport [5] international<\/span> VIVC<\/span> where it has the number 23101<\/span>.<\/span><\/i> Romanian variety<\/span> of semi aromatic white wine grapes,<\/span> Alb Aromat<\/span><\/i> was approved in 1999 by the Pietroasa Wine Research and Development Station (ROM 13), which is also the vinegrape variety\u2019s maintainer. His ancestry was known to be <\/span>Tamaioasa romaneasca x IP 165(Incrocio Pirovano 165)<\/span><\/i> [1], and the authors of the registration, researchers Sofia Ispas and Virgil Gresoi claim that it is a vinegrape variety obtained in 1998 by free fertilization from<\/span> Tamaioasa romaneasca<\/span><\/i>but it is not known which variety was the fecundator [4]. According to <\/span>VIVC<\/span>,<\/span> Alb aromat<\/i><\/b> has full pedigree [6] and was obtained by controlled intraspecific sexual hybridization between the varieties<\/span> Muscat a petit grains blancs<\/span><\/i> and<\/span> Maria Pirovano.<\/span><\/i>. Vinegrape variety <\/span>Muscat with small white berries <\/span><\/i>whose parents are unknown [7], has at least 343 synonyms, including: <\/span>Bjala tamjanka, Gelber muscateller, Muscat Frontignan, Rumeni muscikat, Tamaioasa de Dragasani, Tamaioasa romaneasca, Moscato bianco, Sarga muskotaly, Tamaioasa de Moldova<\/span><\/i> and is maintained by 64 entities involved in research and breeding technologies [3], the largest area being cultivated in France. <\/span>Maria Pirovano,<\/span><\/i> variety homolgated in 1926, in Italy [8], has as ancestor one of the grandparents <\/span>Muscat a petit grains blancs, <\/span><\/i>which makes <\/span>Alb aromat<\/i><\/b> to be practically a backcrossing of this variety so well known throughout the European continent [2]. <\/span><\/p>

According to the pedigree, the ancestry of the variety<\/span> Alb aromat<\/span><\/i> is identical [9] to that of the variety<\/span> Istrita<\/span><\/i>but so far none have been subjected to molecular analysis to confirm or deny any similarity. Vinegrape variety <\/span>Alb Aromat<\/span><\/i> has no descendants, his research is limited to the exploration of the qualities of oenological interest, the final goal being to introduce it in the specifications of a P.D.O., to be proudly written on the label of the resulting wine. Catalogue number in the OIV list<\/span> [10] [10] is 87 and has no synonyms. <\/span><\/p>

Little research has been done on the variety\u2019s resistance to the main vine diseases. However, judging by its ancestry, where we find twice <\/span>Muscat a petit grains blancs<\/span><\/i>, variety<\/span> Alb aromat<\/i><\/b> <\/span><\/i>seems to be extremely sensitive to downy milldew attack (<\/span>Plasmopara viticola<\/span><\/i> Berl. and De Toni) and powdery milldew <\/span>(Erysiphe necator <\/span><\/i>Schwein.) on leaves and bunches (score 1 on a scale of 1 to 10), susceptible to grey rot (<\/span>Botrytis cinerea<\/span><\/i> Pers.) on clusters (note 3), resistant to Cercosporiosis (<\/span>Cercospora sp.<\/span><\/i>.) on leaves (note 7) and susceptible to anthracnose resistant medium (<\/span>Elsino\u00eb ampelina <\/span><\/i>Shear) on leaves and leaf litter (score 3 to 6). These resistance\/susceptibility traits recommend for the variety <\/span>Alb Aromat <\/span><\/i>a series of phytosanitary treatments during the growing season and greenworks to prevent phytofungal infections. [7]<\/span><\/p>

Alb Aromat<\/span><\/i><\/span> is cultivated exclusively in Romania, on an area of 24.73 ha (according to ONVPV, 2022). It is cultivated especially in Prahova (almost 13 ha), Iasi (8 ha) and Buzau (2 ha) and spread in many other counties, where we would not even think of looking for it: Dolj, Galati, Giurgiu, Mehedinti, Salaj, Satu Mare, Sibiu, Tulcea.<\/span><\/p>

Wines made of the vinegrape variety<\/span> Alb aromat<\/span><\/i> have won GOLD medals at the IWCB \u2013 Vinarium [11][11]<\/span> <\/p>
