Project Summary

Homeland of indigenous varieties Prokupac and tammen is Aleksandrovačka Župa. Historical records show that viticulture in this area began already in the 12th century – the great mayor Stefan Nemanja prescribed in the Studenic Charter the amount of wine that the parish villages have to produce for the surrounding monasteries. Aleksandrovačka Župa has become interesting to the French during the period of “Great French wine disease”, during the phylloxera crisis, which destroyed the vineyards of the Old Continent. The disease caused your herbivorous “Filoxera”, which came to Europe from North America. In France, over 50% of the vineyards have been destroyed and the worst has passed through the Bordeaux region. Thanks to the Serbian State-vine-fruit-nursery-garden in Aleksandrovac, Zupa fought this disease and held healthy spines in her president. Kalem’s varieties Tamljanik, in 1886, takes from the Župa, France, the Association of winegrowers “Gala” and their owners.
