ABOUT

Cantina is an Italian word for a small winery that makes wine from grapes grown in its own vineyards.

The richly changing colors woven by sky and earth, wind across the hills, the scent of soil.

Cantina Hiro sharpens its senses to nature’s constant changes

and works at grape growing and winemaking under the motto,

“Do your best, and be first-class.”

FEATURE STORY

Growing Grapes Begins with Building the Soil

The foundation of high-quality grape growing is healthy soil.

By using house-made bokashi compost, no-till grass-cover cultivation, and reduced-pesticide farming, we work to increase soil microorganisms and create loose, living soil that supports healthy vines.

We also benefit fully from the terroir of Makioka, ideal for grape growing thanks to abundant sunshine, south-facing slopes, large day-night temperature differences, and well-drained land.

The fertile soil produces grapes with high sugar levels and pronounced varietal flavor and richness.

We devote both skill and care to drawing out the character of every berry and continually pursue one goal: making them even more delicious.

We invite you to experience the abundant, vibrant flavors born from the combined power of earth, nature, and people.

Wine Can Never Surpass Its Grapes

Cantina Hiro aims to create one-of-a-kind wines that make the most of the grapes' own distinctive savory character.

Its winemaking uses no chaptalization or acidification, employs gravity flow, and maintains rigorous temperature control.

Drawing on techniques developed through many years of cultivating table grapes, the winery grows healthy fruit capable of reaching full ripeness through late harvesting, then turns those grapes into wine through more natural methods.

Because of its absolute confidence in grape growing, Cantina Hiro can offer wines with a natural, unforced character.

Regalo felice

— Putting the giver's feelings into the smallest heart-shaped wine bottle —

Regalo felice means “gift of happiness” in Italian.

It is a miniature heart-shaped wine bottle presented by Cantina Hiro.

It was created from the wish that people would fill this little bottle with their own feelings and give it to someone important to them.

We hope it will bring a sense of happiness.
