Eleven SSR loci were used to identify 76 accessions of presumed native Dalmatian grapevine cultivars (Vitis vinifera L.). The plant material was collected throughout the Dalmatian region and used to reestablish a grape germplasm collection in Dalmatia, the Adriatic region of Croatia. The 76 accessions had 63 unique genotypes, of these 35 are not published in peer­reviewed journals. Twelve synonyms were found within the Dalmatian cultivars and eleven Dalmatian cultivars matched previously published genotypes, mainly from neighboring countries, suggesting historic exchange of grapevine cultivars along ancient trade routes across the Adriatic Sea. Several cultivars with similar names had different SSR profiles, making them homonyms. Genetic distance analysis revealed five groups of cultivars and confirms the existence of several distinct grape gene pools in Croatia.
