Indigenous grapes are ones grown in their mother country. They are either grapes unique to an area or varieties that are best grown in their native land, says Racine.
Unlike well-known universal grapes, indigenous varietals are not widely recognized due to the thousands of these native varieties grown in hundreds of different regions.
In Sicily, dozens of indigenous grapes are cultivated across the island. This local variety plays a significant role in the region's winemaking identity.
While universal varieties have settled into new terroirs globally, indigenous ones continue to showcase the cultural and historical significance of their native regions.
