The northernmost south of Russian winemaking is betting on sparkling wine
Volgograd region is gradually mastering the production of sparkling wines outside the traditional wine regions of Russia. Local producers are forced to shelter vines for the winter to protect them from frost. Spring frosts pose an additional risk and can lead to the loss of a significant portion of the crop. The Zimovets winery has been betting on sparkling wines, and its representatives, together with colleagues from other wineries, are working to create their own category for producers from regions with similar conditions. While winemakers of the Lower Volga only form a recognizable style of their products, hoping to find a niche due to the climate, grape varieties and production technologies.
