✨ Technical Specifications
Krasno Belo is a tribute to the village of Krasno, the highest-altitude settlement in the Goriška Brda region, where vineyards cling to steep, hand-carved terraces. The terroir here is dominated by 'opoka'—a poor, mineral-rich soil composed of marl and sandstone that forces the vines to dig deep for nutrients. This classic white blend harmoniously unites the indigenous Rebula, which imparts vibrant acidity and structural backbone, with Chardonnay for roundness and Sauvignonasse for delicate floral and herbal aromatics. Fermented primarily in stainless steel with a brief period of contact on the fine lees, the wine beautifully captures the cool Alpine breezes and warm Mediterranean influences that define this unique borderland.
🍾 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.
