Blanc de Blanc Edoardo Miroglio

Edoardo Miroglio thought that Bulgarian terroirs should be explored more with regards to quality winemaking, so he set off on a two-year-long quest to uncover land that would allow him to produce complex Pinot Noir.

Edoardo, who was originally a textile manufacturer in his native Italy, settled on the micro-region of Elonovo, in the Eastern Thracian Valley, that was found to possess many similar soil and climatic characteristics to Burgundy.

The winery has been established in 2002 with a first production in 2005. It is located in a central part of 220hc of vines on the hillside of Sani Llia and down the village Elenovo at 400 meters above sea level. They also have a boutique hotem.

They have an annual production of 1 million

They started with Pinot Nero and they have today plantings of chardonnay, Traminer, Sav Blc, Muscat, Merlot, Shiraz, Cab Sav and Frc. They added in 2005 Mavrud and Melnik and in 08 Bouquet and Rubin.

In 2013, they created 3 organics wines from Bouquet, Mavrud, Gewurztramminer, Rubin and Viognier.

Now his team, under the leadership of winemaker Dessislava Baichevaa and viticulturist Alberto La Rosa.Of particular interest to Alberto is the indigenous Bulgarian grape varietal Mavrud, which he has found is likely to be a predecessor of Nebbiolo. Over the last few years he has been experimenting with a variety of Mavrud clones, and now produces some simply stunning wines with this little known grape.
