Wine lover Edoardo Miroglio searched high and low to find the perfect spot to grow Pinot Noir in Bulgaria. The piece of land he chose is on the eastern side of the Thracian Valley, with the Saint Ilia hills shade the area from the freezing Baltic winds while a natural lake nearby regulates the temperature. But Miroglio is no fool, he has had extensive tests and research done just to confirm his theories. He purchased the land in 1998 and by 2004 they had produced their first vintage.
The Soli Pinot Noir is so interesting and nuanced for a Pinot Noir of this price. Cherry and sour raspberry. Finesse. No hint of oak. Quite fruity on the palate. The tannins are soft and with a fine backbone of acidity too. It’s a thrill to find Pinot of this quality at this price. Lovely with pasta, risotto, mushrooms, fish and very good with white meat.
