The vineyards are located on the slope that heads to the village of Elenovo, from where the wines bear their name. The physical and chemical composition of the soil layers and the microclimate that is created in the hilly area located more than 400 meters above sea level on St. Ilya’s Hill, give the area all the necessary requirement for the production of high quality wines. Planting vineyards began by choosing Pinot Nero as the first variety, followed by other international ones such as Chardonnay, Traminer, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat, Merlot, Sirah, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. In the spring of 2005, Edoardo Miroglio’s winery expanded with Bulgarian varieties Mavrud and Melnik. In 2008, the range of local varieties expands further with Bouquet and Rubin.

Pinot Noir is Burgundy's most dominant red grape variety. It's loved for its aromas of red fruit, flowers and spices, which are accentuated by a long, smooth finish. As a thin-skinned grape variety, Pinot Noir has in very general terms, moderate to high acidity, a low level of phenolic compounds, a low to moderate level of tannins and is lighter in colour most red wines.

Located in the region of Thrace, in the village of Elenovo around 15 km from the town of Nova Zagora, the Edoardo Miroglio wine cellar is surrounded by vineyards, a natural lake and green fields, creating ideal conditions for vinegrowing. Vines and wine were the main source of trade in the area as long ago as in the days of the ancient Thracians, with recipes being handed down through the generations from father to son.

The origins of winegrowing in Thrace (modern day Bulgaria) date back so far in time that its roots are mythological: indeed, the cult of Dionysus (Bacchus for the Romans), the god of wine, ecstasy and freedom of the senses, originated in Thrace and was subsequently adopted in the Greek pantheon. Wine was therefore a central element in the life of Thracians, a sort of divine drink through which they could reach ecstasy and communicate with the Divine. They drank wine before going into war, to dance, to find inspiration, and to enjoy freedom.
