This red grape variety is a new cross between Madeleine Angevine x Pinot Chernyi (Pinot Noir). The crossing took place in 1947 in the former USSR (Kyrgyzstan) by the breeder E. I. Sosina. By the way, the Bermet variety was also created with the same parents. In 2016, no stocks were reported (statistics Kym Anderson).
For my many years of work as an editor with a wine and culinary focus, I always like to inform myself about special questions at Wine lexicon. Spontaneous reading and following links often leads to exciting discoveries in the wide world of wine.
