Balin 2017 - Cantina Kopp von der Crone Visini

Tasting notes

"The 2017 Balin is an IGT Svizzera Italiana and blends Merlot with Arinarnoa and Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in French barriques for 18 months, the wine offers a deep, warm, ripe yet fine and toasty bouquet of dark berries, herbs, alpine flowers, licorice and crushed stones. Ripe, lush and intense on the palate, this is round and fleshy but still silky and refined Merlot with good freshness. The finish is still fresh and stimulatingly salty. It's an almost hedonistic wine but with so much elegance and finesse."

Cantina Kopp von der Crone Visini – Terroir Wines from Ticino

Cantina Kopp von der Crone Visini is a renowned Swiss winery located in the canton of Ticino, specifically in Barbengo, near Lugano. Founded in 2006 through the merger of two historic wine estates, Kopp von der Crone and ViniVisini, the winery represents the perfect blend of tradition and innovation in the production of wines from the Ticino region.

A Story of Fusion and Collaboration

The merger of Kopp von der Crone (established in 1994 by Ueli Kopp and Anna Barbara von der Crone) and ViniVisini (founded in 1997 by Paolo Visini) brought together the expertise of two pioneers in the Ticino wine industry.

An Exceptional Range of Wines

The winery offers a selection of 11 wines, including blends such as Scala and Irto, two refined creations that showcase the diversity of the Ticino terroir.

The winery's flagship wine is Balin, a limited edition cuvée with only 8,000 bottles produced, offering a unique tasting experience highly sought after by wine enthusiasts around the world.
