[5] In the beginning of the 20th century, the Madrasa variety was brought to the Ganjabasar region of Azerbaijan.
[clarification needed][7] Widely sold "Giz Galasi" (Maiden Tower), "Yeddi Gozal" (Seven Beauties), "Gara Gila" and "Naznazi" wines are made from Madrasa.
The grapes are grown in Goygol and Samukh districts of Azerbaijan, and crushed for juice.
