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: Rebêche (champagne)
Must obtained in excess of the 2 550 litres authorised for a weight of 4 000 kilos of grapes. The first 2 050 litres constitute the cuvée and the next 500 litres the taille. The rebêche represents 1 to 3 % of the total volume and must be distilled or used to make ratafia.
