Comments	The original plant material for this selection came to Foundation Plant Services from Rauscedo Nursery in Italy in the early 1980's. The selection is reported to be VCR clone R1. That original material received no treatment and successfully completed testing for the California Grapevine Registration & Certification Program. Ruggeri 140 FPS 01 was planted in the FPS Classic Foundation Vineyard in 1987. Ruggeri 140 FPS 01 underwent microshoot tip tissue culture therapy at FPS in 2009. The newly treated material successfully completed testing to qualify for the Russell Ranch Foundation Vineyard where it was planted in 2011 as Ruggeri 140 FPS 01.1.
