somló
The Somló wine region, located in western Hungary, is renowned for its distinctive volcanic wines. This small yet prestigious region is centered around Somló Hill, an extinct volcano that contributes to the unique terroir.
Somló is particularly famous for its white wines, with the Furmint grape variety being the most celebrated. The volcanic soil in Somló imparts a distinctive minerality to the wines, giving them a unique character and complexity. Winemaking in the Somló region dates back to Roman times, showcasing a rich historical tradition. The region's wines are known for their aging potential, often developing more complexity and depth over several years. Juhfark, another prominent grape variety in Somló, produces wines that are highly sought after, especially for their robust acidity and mineral notes. Somló's microclimate, with its warm days and cool nights, is ideal for slow ripening, which enhances the aromatic profile of the wines.
The wines of Somló have been praised by connoisseurs and have received numerous awards in international wine competitions.
