The tasting made us very complacent and we do not hesitate to say that it is one of our favourites: the more pronounced maceration gave substance to the sip and a fruity note reminiscent of apricot sweetness and pear. A nose of ripe fruit and broom with a final dusty earthy note and a slight volatile note.
In the mouth it is dry, with marine notes and a dry fruit finish that dries and recalls the next sip.
From the producer
Balaj Winery
The SEB Project was born in 2018 within the Balaj Winery, the first Albanian winery featured on Rollingwine. Artan, Daniela and Vincenzo's dream is to bring the territory and characteristics of Albania's splendid indigenous grape varieties, varieties with a very long history and tradition, back into the glass.
The vineyards are located in the hills of Valona at an altitude of 80 to 250 metres above sea level and are 1 to 4.5 kilometres from the sea. They therefore benefit from the positive influence of the Adriatic, with the grapes ripening gradually thanks to the mitigating effect of the sea.
In the vineyards, work is essential and carried out mostly by hand; there is no emergency irrigation. The type of training system is espalier and bush-trained. The treatments carried out in the vineyard are at most 2 per year and not aimed at prevention.
