Variety PG-12 (Chocolate)

PG-12 (also Chocolate, Maradona Red, Taifi Resistant) is a table hybrid bred by Magarach ((Katta-Kurgan × Kirovabad Table) × Antei Magarach). It ripens in the mid or mid-to-late season, in 130–145 days, in the middle of September. The cluster is large and very large, cylindrical-conical, often with a wing, of medium density, 700–1200 g. The berries are very large, oval or slightly elongated, dark red, about 9 g (28–31 × 23–24 mm), with a firm skin and fleshy-juicy pulp. The taste is harmonious, with a chocolate aftertaste.

The bush is very vigorous, the shoots ripen well, the flower is hermaphroditic, and 68–78% of shoots are fruitful. The clusters transport well and are suitable for storage. Frost resistance is about −22…−23 °C, and the vine is covered. Resistance to downy and powdery mildew is weak and to gray mold high, so preventive treatments are needed.
