About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The grapes grow in organic vineyards on the hills of Carso, near the Slovenian border. The dry, rocky red soil is rich in limestone and iron compounds.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand when slightly overripe, carefully transported to the winery and pressed. The juice ferments spontaneously with native yeasts and macerates on the skins for at least 15 days.
Ageing
The wine matures for at least 24 months in oak barrels of various sizes, followed by a further five months in bottle.
Tasting profile
Complex and savory, with depth and concentration.
