Selections in Family	Grignolino [04.1] [3]
Registration Status	Registered
Source	Grignolino FPS 01, originally from Sonoma County, California
Comments	This selection came to Foundation Plant Services in the early 1960's from the Martini family's Monte Rosso vineyard in Sonoma County, California. The original plant material underwent heat treatment for 119 days at FPS and was planted in the old FPS foundation vineyard as Grignolino 01. In 1998, Grignolino 01 underwent microshoot tip culture disease elimination therapy at FPS. The new treated selection was renamed Grignolino FPS 04. After successful completion of testing for the California Grapevine Registration & Certification Program, Grignolino 04 was planted in the FPS Classic Foundation Vineyard in 2003. Grignolino 04 successfully completed testing under the 2010 Protocol in 2011, after which it was planted int he Russell Ranch Foundation Vineyard as Grignolino 04.1. This selection is from the same Monte Rosso vineyard source vine (20 v3) as Grignolino FPS 03.
