✨ Technical Specifications
Named in honor of Count Silverio de Baguer, a Spanish nobleman who revolutionized local winemaking at Dobrovo Castle in the late 19th century, the Bagueri Zero Dosage represents the pinnacle of Klet Brda's sparkling wine craftsmanship. Produced using the traditional method (metoda klasična), this bone-dry sparkling wine is crafted from grapes grown on the steep, terraced slopes of Goriška Brda. Here, the unique 'opoka' soil—a mineral-rich flysch of marl and sandstone—imparts a distinctive saline minerality to the vines. Benefiting from the dual influence of warm Adriatic breezes and cool Alpine winds, the grapes retain a vibrant, electric acidity. The wine undergoes extended aging on its lees in the winery's historic cellars, developing sophisticated autolytic character without the addition of a sweet dosage. The result is a pure, precise, and deeply expressive sparkling wine that captures the raw elegance of its microclimate.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1957 as a cooperative uniting local winegrowing families, Klet Brda is the leading wine producer in the picturesque Goriška Brda region of western Slovenia, situated between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea. Working with hundreds of multi-generational families who tend steep, terraced vineyards planted on distinctive flysch and sandstone soils known locally as 'opoka', the winery seamlessly merges centuries of viticultural tradition with state-of-the-art cellar techniques. The estate is celebrated for its diverse portfolio spanning crisp sparkling wines, vibrant whites, and structured reds, with particular distinction in indigenous and regional varieties such as Rebula (Ribolla Gialla) and Sauvignonasse alongside international mainstays across acclaimed collections like the fresh, fruit-forward Quercus line.
