Rubin is a unique and relatively rare red grape variety, originating from Bulgaria. It was created in 1944 by crossing Nebbiolo, a noble Italian variety, and Syrah, a classic French grape. This hybrid was specifically developed to thrive in Bulgaria’s climate and soil conditions, making it an integral part of the country’s winemaking heritage
Edoardo Miroglio, the owner of Tenuta Carretta of Piedmont, Italy where they make their famous Barolos and Babarescos, recognized the great potential of the Thrace Valley and especially the region around the village of Elenovo. He found soils of outstanding quality there and, after careful analysis, they established the current winery in 2002
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Rubin, coming from a single vineyard site of Vervishteto in the Thracian Valley in Bulgaria.
Taste Profile: Intense ruby colour with brownish hues. The nose is rich in spices (black pepper), herbs and ripe black fruits (blackberries, black cherries), dark chocolate, liquorice and dry leaves
Winemaking Process: The wine ages for 18 months in Bulgarian (500L) and French oak barrels (225L)
Powerful modern reds with the ability to age. They tend to be very intense, with ripe fruit, firm tannins & drinkability either young or cellared.
They often have notes of forest floor, blackcurrant, mint & eucalyptus
