DOBRICIC: Variety indigenous to Croatia (former province of Yugoslavia). Recent DNA analysis (late 2001) has found that it is one of the parents of Plavac Mali. No other details as yet.
Working with two Croatian scientists, she also examined the DNA of two other Croatian varieties, Dobricic and Plavac Mali. They determined that Plavac Mali is a result of a genetic cross between Dobricic and Zinfandel.
It is probable that Zinfandel and Primitivo are in fact two clones of the same grape variety and Plavac Veliki a variety derived from Zinfandel and Dobricic and known also as Crljenak.
