Colorito Melnik, Pinot Noir
Tasting notes from the sommelier

“Sparkling ruby red color. Complex aroma with dominant notes of red and black fruits, complemented by spices and tobacco. Spicy body with a good balance of tannins and sweetness. Fresh finish with good length.”

Jamie Goode
Wine Writer

Juicy and bright with nice freshness. Tart with sour cherry and raspberry notes. Bright and focused with good acidity. This has a brightness to it. Very expressive with a hint of pepper, too. 93/100

Varieties: 70% Melnik, 30% Pinot Noir

Terroir: The vineyards are located in the regions of Harsovo and Kromidovo, Melnik, where the soils are heavy, reddish-brown with a high iron content. The climate is characterized by high daytime temperatures and cool air currents in the evening, descending from the surrounding mountains. The Wide Melnik vines are about 50 years old, and the variety is endemic to the Sandanski region. Pinot Noir comes from vineyards near Kavarna, close to the Black Sea, where the constant sea breezes ensure the freshness of the grapes. Biodynamic practices are applied in the vineyards.

Wine: Hand-harvested, each variety separately. Fermentation in separate containers. The Wide Melnik ages in oak barrels for one year. Blending. Limited series of 8800 bottles.
