Let's take a closer look at the details here.
The Elusive Wine "VOTANO WINE"
"VOTANO WINE" is a winery located in Seba, Shiojiri City, Nagano Prefecture.
Founded in 2012 by former architect Mitsuhiro Tsubota, the winery is well-known for its umami-packed wines crafted with wild yeast fermentation and an unfiltered finish.
Fascinated by Barolo, he pursued a career as an architect before training at "Coco Farm & Winery" in Tochigi Prefecture.
Furthermore, it is said that learning winemaking from Bruce Gutlove, who was then the chief winemaker at 10R Winery leading the Japanese wine world, and grape cultivation from Takahiko Soga of Domaine Takahiko formed the cornerstone of his winemaking.
Highly acclaimed both in Japan and abroad, "VOTANO WINE" is a coveted wine among Japanese wine enthusiasts that is notoriously difficult to obtain.
Being able to purchase it at "wa-syu" this time might just be a miracle...
The Dedication Behind "VOTANO WINE"
Seba, Shiojiri City, Nagano Prefecture, is where Mr. Tsubota started winemaking at his current location.
In pursuit of mineral-rich soil suitable for his ideal winemaking, he continually analyzed geological conditions across the country and discovered that the land along the Narai River was ideal.
The Narai River joins the Chikuma River and becomes the Shinano River, flowing into the Sea of Japan over a long journey.
Originating from the Kiso and Hida mountain ranges with Jurassic geological strata, the Seba area where the river forms an S-shaped curve is said to have accumulated abundant minerals.
In addition, to suppress the vigorous growth of the grapevines, Mr. Tsubota adopted the "curtain training system" in grape growing.
By using the curtain training system, the distance between leaves narrows, increasing the number of leaves per 1 cluster and thus stimulating photosynthesis.
Through this meticulous work, a variety of grapes including Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Kerner, and Kai Blanc are cultivated at "VOTANO WINE."
