“Golden Traditions” is a Russian champagne produced by the Ufa plant “Bosca-Rus”. The company works with the active participation of specialists from the Italian company Bosca, known on the Russian market for its wine drinks. Foreign partners supply wine materials to the plant and help in the development of recipes. The line includes several types of champagne, including brut and semi-sweet.
Historical information
The factory of sparkling wines in Ufa was built by the joint efforts of the Italian company Bosca and the Russian group of companies Neral. The enterprise was erected in a short time – the agreement was signed in 2009, and a year later, the first batch of champagne left the production lines of the plant. The Russian side covered the construction costs, while the Italians brought equipment and helped to establish production processes.
Bosca is one of the oldest wine houses in Italy. It is located in the city of Canelli in the province of Asti and was founded in 1831. The company produces a wide range of wine drinks with different flavors, classic premium champagne, as well as traditional Italian Asti and Prosecco. The company closely cooperates with foreign partners – with its participation, enterprises have been created in Lithuania and Bashkiria.
Champagne “Golden Traditions” was among the first products of the new plant in Ufa. Initially, it was assumed that the company would produce sparkling wine under the traditional Sovetskoye brand, in connection with which the Neral Group of Companies has already acquired the necessary license. This was unexpectedly opposed by the Italian partners, who did not like this name. In the end, an agreement was reached, and the brand was named “Golden Traditions”.
