Claims
We claim:
1. A new and distinct variety of Vitis vinifera L. plant
substantially as illustrated and described herein.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Vitis
vinifera L.
Variety denomination: `PINOT KORS`.
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application claims the benefit of priority from QZ Community
Plant Variety Office (CPVO) Application No. 20183518, filed Dec.
20, 2018.
BACKGROUND
The present application relates to a new and distinct variety of
grape named `PINOT KORS`. The new plant resulted from a controlled
cross and is a selection from crossing 99-1-48 (unpatented) as the
seed parent with Pinot Noir (unpatented) as the pollen parent in
2007. The resulting plant was selected in 2013 when growing in a
cultivated area in Udine, Italy.
`PINOT KORS` is primarily adapted to the climate and growing
conditions of the temperate regions with average yearly temperature
about 13.degree. C., minimum winter temperature about -20.degree.
C., annual rainfall around 700-1500 mm of rain (e.g. North-Eastern
Italy, Friuli). This region provides the necessary year-round
temperatures required for it to produce and maintain a strong
vigorous plant with consistent fruit production.
SUMMARY
The `PINOT KORS` variety is distinguished from other grape
varieties due to the following unique combination of
characteristics: strong blistering of upper side of leaf blade,
cuneiform shaped leaves, fruit cluster of medium bunch density with
3-4 wings, medium harvesting time (early September in northeastern
Italy), and resistance to downy mildew and powdery mildew. A
comparison of the new variety to its parents, Vitis vinifera `Pinot
Noir` (unpatented) and Vitis cross `99-1-48` (unpatented), and to
the variety `MERLOT KANTHUS` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 28,020) is
provided in Table 1.

Of the many commercial cultivars known to the present inventor, the
most similar to the new grapevine `PINOT KORS` is the male parent
`Pinot Noir`, to which a comparison has been provided above.
Asexual reproduction of this new variety by grafting onto K5BB
rootstock was first performed in February 2014 in Rauscedo, Friuli
Venezia Giulia Region, Italy, and has demonstrated that that the
foregoing characteristics for the new cultivar come true to form,
are firmly fixed, and are established and transmitted through
succeeding propagations. The new cultivar reproduces true to
type.
Certain characteristics of this variety may change with changing
environmental conditions (such as photoperiod, temperature,
moisture, soil conditions, nutrient availability, or other
factors). Color descriptions and other terminology are used in
accordance with their ordinary dictionary descriptions, unless the
context clearly indicates otherwise. Color designations
(hue/value/chroma) are made with reference to The Royal
Horticultural Society (R.H.S.) Colour Chart, 5.sup.th edition,
London, England, 2007.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is a photograph showing a shoot of the new variety `PINOT
KORS` taken on May 24, 2017, in Rauscedo, Italy.
FIG. 2 is a photograph showing a leaf of the new variety `PINOT
KORS` taken on May 24, 2017, in Rauscedo, Italy.
FIG. 3 is a photograph showing fruit of the new variety `PINOT
KORS` taken on Aug. 24, 2016, in Rauscedo, Italy.
FIG. 4 is a photograph showing plants of the new variety `PINOT
KORS` taken on Aug. 24, 2016, in Rauscedo, Italy.
The color photographs shows typical specimens of the new variety
and depict the color as nearly true as is reasonably possible to
make the same in a color illustration of this character. It should
be noted that colors may vary, for example due to lighting
conditions at the time the photograph is taken. Therefore, color
characteristics of this new variety should be determined with
reference to the observations described herein, rather than from
the photograph alone.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The new variety was identified due to its resistance to downy
mildew and powdery mildew, and was suited to the climatic and soil
conditions of central-northern Italy. The new variety can be used
in wine production.
BOTANICAL
The following detailed description of the `PINOT KORS` variety is
based on observations of asexually reproduced progeny. The observed
progeny are plants which were 3-5 years of age. The following
detailed description concerns the plants growing in an open field
taken in Rauscedo, Italy in 2016-2018. The original plant and
progeny have been observed growing in a cultivated area in
Rauscedo, Italy, with medium texture soil that is rich in skeleton
and alluvial in nature. Temperatures in Rauscedo, Italy range from
a high of 29.degree. C. to a low of -2.degree. C. Average rainfall
is 822 mm per year, with an average rainfall during the growing
season (April-September) of 453 mm.
