Producer Vodopivec

FRIULI VENEZIA GIULIA

The Vodopivec Winery is located in Colludrozza, a small hamlet in the municipality of Sgonico, a few kilometers from Trieste. We are in the Karst, where the stony, clayey soil lashed by the Bora reigns supreme. Since 1997 the winery has been led by the 2 brothers Paolo and Valter, who take over from their parents and decide to devote themselves exclusively to the cultivation of Vitovska. The choice to plant only Vitovska was very courageous at the time because, if in his land it could be considered the indigenous grape variety par excellence, it was practically unknown at national level. In the vineyard all treatments are natural, and each plant produces half a kilogram of grapes. In the cellar the wine is born in the most natural way with spontaneous fermentation and refinement in amphorae purchased by Paolo Vodopivec in Georgia. The Karst that is outside is found in the bottle.
