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: Acidic (flavor)
Acidity is present in all wines, and is essential in white wines. It is due to the presence of different organic acids in the wine, and is expressed in the mouth by a sensation of freshness combined with other elements, such as minerality or a note of bitterness. Moderately present, it brings relief and vivacity to the wine.
