Ancient DNA from Tuscan wells reveals origins of modern wine
Reported byPhys.org Science ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Scientists successfully recovered and analyzed 2,000-year-old grape DNA from archaeological sites, mapping the most extensive genetic history of ancient grapevines from a single location. This discovery advances understanding of grape domestication and the origins of modern wine varieties.
This does not prove current wine quality or safety, nor does it establish definitive timelines for all wine grape development globally—only for this specific Tuscan site.
