Disegno Petit Manseng 2021
This is a late harvest dessert wine with a bright golden colour. 100% Petit Manseng
The vineyard plot of 0,9 ha is located in the land of the town of Kavarna. The climate is highly influenced by the Black Sea, and the constant breezes have a beneficial effect on the vines, protecting the grapes from a sharp rise in sugars. This also contributes to the preservation of the acids that determine the freshness of the taste. Petit Manseng is a typical variety used for the production of dessert wines, mainly in South-West France.
The grape harvest is done manually in the first days of December. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks for ca. 56 days. After that oak contact is performed for part of the wine for 1 year before proceeding with the blending. The result is a wine with a harmonious and rich profile.
Saturated light amber colour. Intriguing nose of roasted corn and apricot confit. Balanced body, light and fresh with delicate bitterness and popcorn in the finish. Funky, interesting, airy sweet wine.

Black Sea region
The Black Sea coast is an area where nearly 30% of Bulgarian vineyards are concentrated. The climate, with warm summers and mild winters, is suitable for growing white varieties. Autumn is warm and long, which favours the accumulation of enough sugars to produce fine white semi-dry wines. Over 50% of white grape varieties in Bulgaria are grown here, and the most common are Dimyat, Riesling, Uni Blanc, Muscat Ottonel, Traminer, even Sauvignon Blanc. The wines have a pleasant fruity aroma, rich taste and elegant freshness. The old endemic variety Dimyat, in addition to being suitable for dry, is often used for the production of dessert wines, as well as for fine aromatic distillates.

Petit Manseng
Пти Мансенг е бял сорт грозде с произход от областта Jurançon (Гаскония), близо до френските Атлантически Пиренеи (Баския регион). Това е сорт, който произлиза от еволюцията на Gros Manseng. Пти Мансенг се характеризира с особено малки плодове с дебела ципа, които дават малък добив. Гроздовете могат да се сушат по френския метод „passerillage“, т.е. да останат на растението, лишено от горните листа, за да се концентрира захарта, до късна есен. Този метод се използва и за производството на типични ликьорни вина. В Италия интересът към потенциала на този сорт нараства най-вече в Лацио, Тоскана и Сицилия - региони, в които сортът е позволен за отглеждане. Характеризира с ниски добиви и късно зреене. Дебелите ципи, високата киселинност и редките гроздове правят Пти Мансенг особено подходящ за сушене и съответно за производство на десертни вина.
