The Savalan Valley with its exceptional terroir and climatic condition is the birthplace of one of Azerbaijan’s most unique wines.
The vineyards are located in the Savalan Valley, which is protected from dry winds by the Greater Caucasus Mountains and is surrounded on both sides by the river Turyanchay.
Over time, the river has left behind layers of sand, fine gravel, and clay, which intermingle with earlier calcareous rocks to create a wide variety of terroirs.
Of the existing 11 climatic zones, nine are present in Azerbaijan, four in the Gabala region, which is one of the unique characteristic features of the Gabala climate. At 400m above sea level, there is an ideal balance of rain, sun, and average annual temperatures. The similarities of the climate with that in southern Italy inspired the founders to partner with Italian companies and experts to study the terroir and select the most suitable grape varieties.

This land is a dream for a winemaker. The exceptional terroir is perfect for grape vines and brings out the best possible harvest with its climatic and geographical features. This allows for a wine production that emphasises the ripeness and complexity of the different grape varieties. . The wines acquire a wonderful tannic structure, allowing them to develop superbly over time, while retaining the charm and delicacy inherent in red wines. Melt waters from the Caucasus Mountains and the proximity of rivers make it possible to grow grapes with very high taste qualities and delicate minerality, which is typical for white wines.

Following the results of the climate and soil study, which was carried out under the guidance of expert oenologist-agronomists, the most suitable International grape varieties were selected. Over 22 varieties including the six Noble Grapes – Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Merlot were provided by Vivai Cooperativi Rauscedo, a leading European supplier of seedlings. Today, the vineyards cover more than 360 hectares and the collection and sorting of grapes is carried out entirely by hand.
