The premium 'Bagueri' line pays homage to Count Silverio de Baguer, a Spanish nobleman and diplomat who settled in the Dobrovo Castle during the late 19th century and elevated the region's viticulture to aristocratic standards. Crafted from hand-harvested Sivi Pinot (Pinot Grigio) grown on the steep, mineral-rich marl terraces of Goriška Brda, known locally as 'opoka', this wine represents a sophisticated, structured departure from light, mass-market Pinot Grigios. To achieve its signature complexity, the grapes undergo a short maceration, followed by fermentation and maturation in a combination of French oak barriques and large oak casks on fine lees. This traditional method imparts a rich, golden-copper hue, a creamy texture, and a complex bouquet of ripe pear, red apple, dried flowers, and delicate vanilla undertones.
