Discover the grape variety: Prima
Simple, light and fruity reds with a pale, lightly coloured ruby robe, smooth tannins, an airy palate with moderate acidity, and understated aromas of red fruits. Rustic, discreet profile. Nearly extinct, preserved in a few varietal collections for its heritage value; among the old varieties whose commercial cultivation has all but disappeared, studied for their genetic and historical interest. Rare French black variety, little documented.

The wine region of Nagano-ken
Alpine wine prefecture of central Japan (Honshu), the 2nd national region, high-altitude vineyards (600-900 m). Signature Merlot of Kikyogahara: supple, precise reds with signature notes of plum, cherry, sweet herbs, cedar and a cocoa touch, round tannins and elegant freshness — rivalling the Bordeaux wines. Renowned broad, mineral Chardonnay, fine and silky Pinot Noir. Also historic hybrid grapes (Concord, Niagara).
The word of the wine: Removal of shoes
In the spring, this operation consists of removing the mound of earth formed at the foot of the vines by ploughing between the rows in the autumn.
