However, it is susceptible to fungal diseases at a moderate level and requires careful care and proper site selection to ensure optimal development.
The primary use of the Pinot Noir variety is in the production of fine table wines and high-quality sparkling wine materials.

A clone of this variety, obtained in the 1940s in Kyrgyzstan, confirms its adaptability and selection value.
