Is it X + X or X + Y or what?

Late breaking news:

SANGIOVESE'S ANCESTORS FOUND.

Stop the presses!! As it turns out, just about everything came from something. I think there is some sort of law of thermodynamics that says something like 'Man cannot create nor destroy matter'. The implication is that it simply changes (mutates) into something else. Enter the grapes Ciliegiolo and Calabrese Montenuovo. Don't they just roll off the toungue? These two got busy a while back and gave birth to the almighty Sangiovese.

Maybe now that one of the Italian greats has been brought down a peg, my friends in California will let go of the idea that Zinfandel is all their own.
