Comments	This Greek white wine variety is grown in the Pelopónnisos (Aigialeia Mountains) and the Ionian islands and has been mentioned in connection with Cretan varieties of the 19th century. Lagorthi is known in the Puglia region of Italy as Verdeca. DNA profiling has shown that the Croatian variety Plavina is a cross between Verdeca (Lagorthi) and Tribidrag (the Croatian name for Zinfandel and Primitivo).
