The Nebbiolo variety introduced From Italy, Piedmont. It is characterized by increased acidity and a high level of tannin concentration. The Krasnodar region already has experience in growing grapes and producing wine from Italian varieties. In our study, we used grapes of Nebbiolo variety grown in the vineyards of the Sober Bash winery located near Krasnodar, harvested in 2021. It is noted that the terroir of the foothills of mount Sober Bash is similar to the terroir of Piedmont. As a result was found that the wine produced from the introduced Nebbiolo grape variety meets the requirements of GOST 32030-2013 in terms of organoleptic and physico-chemical parameters. The qualitative indicators of must and wine (wine material) from the Nebbiolo variety were determined. The content of peonidin reaches 50 mg/dm3 of the total amount, the rest consists of malvidin and cyanidin for Nebbiolo. Trisubstituted anthocyanins, delphinidin and petunidin, are present in small amounts. Aromatic substances were identified in the studied Nebbiolo wine materials. Analyzing the obtained data, it can be noted that the qualitative composition of aromatic acids in the wines of Piedmont and Krasnodar is identical, and their quantity varies depending on the grape clone and its place of growth. In terms of the amount of aromatic substances, the wine from the Nebbiolo introduced in Krasnodar and harvested in 2021, is not much inferior to the Piedmontese one, however, no obvious differences were found during the tasting assessment. Thus, the Krasnodar Nebbiolo fully corresponds to the quality indicators of the Italian variety grown within Piedmont. The tasting assessment confirmed the prospects of the Nebbiolo grape variety as a raw material for the production of high-quality red wines in the conditions of the Krasnodar region.
