The white grape variety comes from Russia. Synonyms are Belyi Kizilovyi, Kizilovyi Belyi, Koukanovsky, Pochatochnyi, Pociatocnii and Potchatotchnyi. The parentage (parenthood) is unknown. The vine is cultivated in the western region of Rostov on the Don River. In 2016, however, no stocks were reported (statistics Kym Anderson).
In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
