Cabernet Severny, red wine grape variety specially bred for cold climates at the All-Russia Potapenko Institute in the Rostov region of russia. It was created by pollination of a hybrid of dimiat (known here as Galan)×V. amurensis with a pollen mixture of other hybrid forms involving both the European vine species V. vinifera and the famously cold-hardy Mongolian vine species V. amurensis. It is grown in Russia and colder parts of Canada.
