The results found a number of synonymous (Bianca di Poviglio/Trebbiano toscano; Bordò/Carmenere; Balsamina/Marzemino; Occhio di gatto/Tocai friulano, Scorzamara from Coviolo/Lambrusco grasparossa) and homonymous varieties (Rossara/Rossara from Trento; Fogarina/Uva Fogarina). An additional eight loci were analyzed to investigate possible parentage relationships; results suggested a parent/offspring relationship between Fortana and Lambrusco Maestri and between Uva tosca and Lambrusco Montericco.
