The number of old grapevine cultivars in Albania, originated in the country or introduced over many centuries and adapted to the conditions of the country, is huge. Because numerous cases of homonymy and synonymy exist, the interest for variety recognition is high. Investigation of these cultivars aptitudes is related to identification of desired characteristics and their utilization. In the framework of COST Action FA1003, trueness to type assessment of 13 old Albanian cultivars was undertaken
