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: Herbaceous
Vegetable odour reminiscent of freshly cut grass and considered a defect of the wine.
