✨ Technical Specifications
Named in honor of Count Silverio de Baguer, a visionary 19th-century Spanish diplomat who established modern winemaking standards at Dobrovo Castle, the Bagueri Superior range represents the pinnacle of Klet Brda's craft. This Sivi Pinot (Pinot Grigio) is crafted in the traditional 'Ramato' style, utilizing brief skin contact to extract a distinctive coppery-pink hue and a rich, textured mouthfeel. The grapes are sourced from steep, sun-drenched terraced vineyards rooted in 'opoka'—a local mineral-rich soil composed of marl and sandstone. Benefiting from the unique microclimate where cool Alpine winds meet warm Adriatic breezes, the wine is partially fermented and matured in oak barrels, resulting in a complex, structured expression that beautifully revives historical regional traditions.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1957 in the western reaches of Slovenia's Primorska region, Klet Brda is a premier cooperative winery owned by approximately 400 local winegrowing families. The vineyards cascade across the steep, terraced hills of Goriška Brda beneath Dobrovo Castle, positioned between the snowcapped Julian Alps and the Adriatic Sea. This sub-Mediterranean pocket is defined by flysch soils—locally known as opoka, composed of layered marl and sandstone—imparting signature minerality and tensile structure to the fruit. Viticulture follows strict sustainable guidelines, requiring meticulous hand-tending across hundreds of micro-parcels. Chief oenologist Darinko Ribolica and winemaker Luka Ribolica vinify in subterranean cellars, seamlessly combining stainless steel with neutral and large Slovenian oak. Klet Brda champions indigenous and benchmark regional white expressions, notably Rebula (Ribolla Gialla), Sivi Pinot (Pinot Grigio), and Sauvignonasse, showcased through the minerally vibrant Family Vineyards line, skin-macerated Krasno Orange, and the oak-matured Bagueri prestige range.
