Leader abandoning old Russian ring importing foremost of red wine (7) O-V---O
My thought is it is the name of a wine (can't find any that nearly fit), it has an R in it somewhere. Actually, I have no idea. Any help welcome. Thank you.

Engaging brain a bit puts an E in it too, O-V-E-O, but does not help me find the answer!

Orvieto is a wine ?

Thank you shooty. I shall add it to my list! I am always happier when I did not know the answer.

Have you got the parse. Because I cannot get it ?

8 D. Soviet with the s (leader abandoning) removed give Oviet+o/old+ the r at the start (foremost) of ref?

O r viet o.

Cheers malone.
