Following the principles and practices built over the centuries in already recognized wine regions, the Midalidare Sparkling project was launched: a sparkling wine produced according to the traditional sparkling winemaking with bottle fermentation, at least 18 months ageing on the lees and made with exceptional attention to detail. From 2010, after a profound terroir analysis and assessment, the first vines of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier were gradually planted on the Prisovete and Dabovets vineyards.
Midalidare Blanc de Noirs NV is made from organic grapes, and it is aged on the lees for at least 48 months. The wine is presented on the market in November 2024.
