Primorska

Primorska è una regione vinicola della Slovenia situata a ovest, al confine con l'Italia e condividendo una piccola parte della penisola istriana con la Croazia. Questa area è nota per la sua straordinaria diversità di terroir e per la qualità dei suoi vini.

La regione è suddivisa in 4 distretti distinti, ciascuno con caratteristiche uniche:

1. Vipavska Dolina: Questa valle, formata dal fiume Vipacco e situata al confine con la pianura Isontina, è anche conosciuta come la “California slovena” per il suo clima mite. La regione produce vini di alta qualità grazie alla combinazione di suoli fertili e condizioni climatiche favorevoli.

2. Goriška Brda (Collio Sloveno): Situata al confine con l'Italia, Goriška Brda è famosa per i suoi vini che sono l'equivalente sloveno dei pregiati vini del Collio Goriziano. Qui si producono eccellenti varietà come Ribolla Gialla, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc e Pinot Grigio.

3. Slovenska Istra (Istria Slovena): Questa area è conosciuta per la produzione di Malvasia Istriana, un vitigno che produce vini bianchi aromatici e ben strutturati, tipici di questa parte della regione.

4. Kras (Carso Sloveno): Noto per i suoi vini rossi dal sapore forte e secco, il Kras è famoso per il vitigno autoctono Terrano. Inoltre, qui si producono anche vini bianchi con l'autoctono Vitouska, caratterizzati da un profilo distintivo e un forte legame con il territorio.

Con la sua ricca varietà di terroir e vitigni, offre un panorama vinicolo diversificato e di alta qualità, riflettendo la complessità e la tradizione della viticoltura slovena.

Goriška Brda (Slovenian Collio)

The Goriška Brda region in Slovenia is a sub-region of Primorje. It produces a series of wines known worldwide for their distinction and class.

We are in Slovenian Collio, characterized by soils composed of the famous ponca, a mixture of marl and sandstone. Here, the focus is mainly on Rebula (Slovenian Ribolla, yellow and green).

The refinement and oenological stature of Goriška Brda are due to the grape varieties, the climate, and the savoir-faire of the local winemakers. These elements define a style of wine that is not found anywhere else in Slovenia or the world.
Vines that sink their roots into the famous "ponca," a mixture of marl and sandstone.
