Grapes
North Saperavi is one of the best dark-colored technical grape varieties grown for more than half a century. An excellent dessert wine is obtained from Saperavi, as well as several varieties of fortified wines. Unlike many other technical varieties, the berries of this grape are quite suitable for fresh consumption. Its cultivation is not particularly difficult.
Novice gardeners in Siberia are suspicious of viticulture. However, the matter is worth it, especially provided that the varieties of this crop are correctly selected and the cultivation technology is observed. Not so long ago, the choice of grape varieties for harsh climates was not so great. Nowadays there are new grape names that are perfectly adapted to growing in cold regions, and with some effort in Siberia, you can get a good harvest of wine berries.
The Kesha grape variety is well known to most gardeners. Self-fertility and high yield of Kesha are combined with an excellent taste of berries, the variety is considered one of the best table varieties of the mid-early ripening period. Due to its high frost resistance and unpretentiousness to growing conditions, it is planted both in the southern regions and in the conditions of central Russia.
Today there are a huge number of grape varieties, but many of them do not tolerate the cold winters of most regions of our country and do not have time to ripen during their characteristic short summer. A striking exception is Chernysh, which is able to bring a bountiful harvest even in the conditions of central Russia.
