The selection process for getting the perfect variety is continuous and always relevant. In the context of the development of domestic viticulture and winemaking, modern economic and environmental conditions require a wide range of grapes that have a set of various economically valuable qualities, including high adaptability, biological plasticity, combined with consistently high quality of the crop. It is especially important to develop competitive, highly profitable grape varieties that do not require a large pesticide load and are resistant to frost and fungal diseases. The paper presents the results of agrobiological study of the red Krasnostop Carpi wine grape variety. Agrobiological and morphological characteristics of the variety are given according to research data for 3 years. The authors carried out ampelometric screening of the leaf to certify the variety. The Krasnostop Carpi is a mid-late ripeness variety of grape. The weight of berry is 1.9-2.0g. The skin is of medium thickness. The pulp is meaty and juicy. The taste is harmonious. Sugar content is 220-240 g/dm 3 , acidity - 6.3 g/dm 3 . The variety can withstand frost down to - 25-27°С, resistant to mildew and powdery mildew. The Krasnostop Carpi variety is promising for cultivation in the northern industrial viticulture of Russia. The variety passed State testing in 2018, it features high biological plasticity: resistance to thermal stress and fungal diseases. It is used for the production of dry wines of high quality. The authors recommend the variety for commercial growing in Region 6 using the uncovered growing technology with two preventive treatments against fungal diseases.
