The red grape variety is an interspecific new variety between Severny x Odesskii Ustoichivi (Sereksia = Băbească Neagră x Rupestris). Synonyms are Iliciovski Ciornii, Iliciovski Ciornyi Rannii, Iliczewski Rani and Iljicsevszkij. Genes of Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera are included. The hybrids were crossed in the Ukraine. It is used as table grape. It is grown in small quantities in Moldova. However, no stock was reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
