Zinfandel vs. Primitivo-关于仙芬黛与普里米蒂沃

Zinfandel vs. Primitivo-关于仙芬黛与普里米蒂沃

陆江(Maxime LU)/万欧兰葡萄酒俱乐部

刚在微博上与酒友讨论了,关于加州仙芬黛(Zinfandel)与意大利普里米蒂沃(Primitivo)两个葡萄品种的关系。

很多资料中,仙芬黛(Zinfandel)与意大利普里米蒂沃(Primitivo)被认为是同义词。而事实上是有所区别的,是Crljenak Kastelanski葡萄的不同的克隆。

根据UC Davis的Carole Meredith博士的研究,仙芬黛(Zinfandel)与意大利的普里米蒂沃(Primitivo)来自于克罗地亚Croatia,两个品种都可以称为Crljenak Kastelanski,只是各自在漫长岁月里繁衍变化,已经形成不同表现的克隆。为了能了解更多知识,我翻阅了一些相关资料,得到一些信息和大家分享。为了避免翻译中的误会,我把原文也会对照附上:

最终在2003年的基因分析中,终于确定了它们三者之间的重要关联。这证明了加州的仙芬黛Zinfandel,意大利普里米蒂沃 Primitivo和克罗地亚的Crljenak/ Pribidrag都有着相同的DNA图谱。 (Maletić等,2003年,2004年)

Definitive genetic analysis in 2003 ultimately made a crucial link when it proved  that California’s Zinfandel, Italy’s Primitivo and Croatia’s Crljenak/Pribidrag all share the same DNA profile. (Maletić et al. 2003, 2004)

虽然DNA图谱擅长区分葡萄种类,但不能用于识别不同的克隆。

DNA profiles are excellent for distinguishing between grapevine varieties but cannot be used to identify clones.

-加州大学戴维斯分校(UC Davis)的Carole Meredith博士,她的实验室是最先对仙粉黛Zinfandel和普里米蒂沃Primitivo进行基因比对研究的。她与美国财政部酒精和烟草税收贸易局(TTB)沟通,关于<是否在酒标标识中,把仙粉黛Zinfandel和普里米蒂沃Primitivo作为同一品种对待>这一主题时,指出这两个品种在各自独立的繁殖遗传中已经形成一些小的不同,像果实大小,或是果实成分等。她认为这些不同,对于做酒来说是非常重要,不可忽略的。 因此,尽管欧盟把仙粉黛Zinfandel作为普里米蒂沃Primitivo的同义词,美国酒精和烟草税收贸易局(TTB)还是将它们作为不同的品种应用在美国酒中。

In a communication to the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) of the U.S. Treasury Department on the issue of whether or not Zinfandel and Primitivo should be treated as synonyms for purposes of wine labeling, Dr. Carole Meredith of the University of California, Davis, whose lab was the first to make a genetic comparison of the two grapes, noted that the independent propagation of the two varieties has resulted in small differences, such as berry size or fruit composition, that she believed could be significant for wine-making. Although the European Union recognizes the name Zinfandel as a synonym for the Primitivo grape, TTB continues to maintain them as separate prime grape variety names used to designate American wines. Consequently, Zinfandel and Primitivo may not be used as synonyms on wine labels for wines made, in the United States.
-最终结果:2007年12月美国酒精和烟草税收贸易局(TTB)批准把两个品种都入列美国葡萄酒的葡萄品种列表,但两个名称并不作为同义词入列。 美国生产者必须根据具体品种在酒标上对应标识。

(来源http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZinfandelAs of December 2007, the TTB lists both Zinfandel and Primitivo as approved grape varieties for American wines, but they are not listed as synonyms.U.S. producers, therefore, must label a wine according to whether it is Zinfandel or Primitivo。
