Descrizione

Il Plithure Trevllazer della cantina Balaj è un vino che riesce a raccontare il territorio di origine attraverso il suo carattere unico e inconfondibile. Al primo impatto visivo, si presenta con un colore rubino intenso e riflessi violacei che catturano immediatamente l'attenzione. Al naso, esplode con un bouquet complesso di frutti di bosco maturi, prugna e ciliegia, accompagnati da delicate note di spezie dolci, vaniglia e una leggera nota tostata, segno del suo affinamento in legno.

In bocca, il Plithure Trevllazer conferma le aspettative: è pieno e strutturato, con tannini ben integrati e un'acidità equilibrata che dona freschezza e persistenza al sorso. Il retrogusto lungo e avvolgente lascia emergere sfumature di cioccolato fondente e una punta di liquirizia, rendendo questo vino particolarmente adatto a piatti di carne alla brace, selvaggina e formaggi stagionati.

La cantina Balaj, con la sua attenzione ai dettagli e il rispetto per le tradizioni vitivinicole, riesce a esaltare le caratteristiche delle uve utilizzate, offrendo un prodotto raffinato e di grande qualità. Plithure Trevllazer è la scelta ideale per chi cerca un vino elegante e complesso, capace di arricchire qualsiasi occasione con la sua personalità distintiva.

Winery history

The project linked to the Balaj name stems from the work of Artan Balaj, who, after viticultural experience in Italy, returned to the Vlorë area to start his own venture. In the early years he planted experimental parcels in the Risili area. According to some sources, the SEB/Balaj project was formally established in 2018; over time production has focused on both indigenous and international varieties of the region.

Production philosophy
