Sourced from the steep, hand-harvested terraced hills of Goriška Brda in Primorska, this Sivi Pinot (the Slovenian name for Pinot Grigio) reflects a unique microclimate where alpine breezes from the Julian Alps meet warm Mediterranean winds from the Adriatic Sea. Grown in the region's signature 'opoka' soil—a mineral-rich layered marl and sandstone—the grapes develop a distinctive saline minerality and bright acidity. The cooperative's family growers preserve this vibrant character through gentle pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation entirely in stainless steel tanks, avoiding oak contact to let the pure, expressive fruit and local terroir shine through.
