THE MAKING OF 22
THE MAKING OF 22
Bulgaria is the birthplace of 22 and some of the renowned Bulgarian wine craftsmen are part of the process of its creation.
In five major steps, selected white wines from the Bulgarian terroir magnificently blends with local herbal varieties.
STEP 1
Selection of the wines
Our wine craftsman rigorously selects the wines used as a base for 22, according to their organoleptic qualities.
STEP 2
Selection of the herbs
Precious herbs from The Balkan, The Rhodope, Rila and Pirin mountains, are carefully and patiently selected, to guarantee the best aromatic richness of the drink. Numerous preconditions and specifics are strictly checked by our specialists during this process – from the right time of the harvest, through the process of drying, to the correct storage of the herbs.
STEP 3
Extraction
The important ingredients and aromas of each herb are skillfully extracted by water diffusion (no alcohol extraction is used). The process requires great attention and precise proportion of the mixtures, to perfectly fulfill the correct formula.
STEP 4
Infusion
This is the stage, where 22 is born - the fusion between the wine and the extracts takes place. The mixture is stirred until complete homogenization and now the aromatic molecules of the ingredients needs time to perfectly blend with each other.
STEP 5
Ageing
Left for several weeks to settle, 22 is ready to fully reveal its distinctive bitter taste and subtle aromas.

CHARACTERISTICS
CHARACTERISTICS
By its nature, 22 by Burdi belongs to a broad family, called “aromatised wine products”, and more specifically to its subcategory “aromatised wine-based drinks” (the group, where Sangria, Glühwein and other similar drinks belong). It should not be confused with vermouths, where wine is fortified with additional alcohol, leading to higher alcohol content.
Aromatised wine-based drink is a beverage, obtained from pure wine that has been additionally sweetened and naturally flavored. The flavor is derived from the infusion of herbs, spices, and other sorts of plant derivatives. The subtle sweetness in 22 by Burdi is achieved using natural sweetener and the distinctive color is due to the blending of the native nuances of wine and herbal extracts.
