What this place is

A valley made for wine

Savalan ASPI Winery grew up in the Savalan Valley of the Gabala district — between two rivers, at the foot of the Greater Caucasus. Here a rare terroir took shape: sun, moisture and soils ideal for the vine.

The winery joins local grapes with European experience: hand-harvesting, modern equipment and ageing in French oak. So are born some of Azerbaijan's best-known wines.

Where to start

"Good wine begins in the soil — and the Savalan Valley was made for the vine."

The art of ageing

Where wine gains its character

The heart of the winery is its cellar. In the cool silence, in French oak barrels, young wine spends months gaining depth, aroma and character. Here time works for the taste.

About the cellar

Come and see

Wine, mountains and a tasting

The winery is open to guests: tours of the vineyards and cellar, tastings and a museum of Azerbaijani winemaking — all in one of the most beautiful corners of Gabala.
