Nekaj 2019 - Damijan Podversic

Nekaj ​​- Damijan Podversic

The Nekaj ​​is a rich and structured wine obtained from Friulano grapes from the vineyard on Monte Calvario, on the outskirts of Gorizia. Grape harvesting is manual, and in the cellar after de-stemming the fermentation is spontaneous and takes place in conical truncated oak vats with long maceration on the skins for 60-90 days. After fermentation the Nekaj ​​refines first for a good 23 months in large barrels and then in bottles for 6 months. The Nekaj ​​has a golden yellow color tending to amber, with an intriguing nose of ripe fruit ranging from apricot to tropical fruit. On the palate it is structured and elegant, with a subtle tannic texture and a very long finish.

Service

It is advisable to serve the Nekaj ​​at a 15 ° temperature in ballon goblets. Wine to drink immediately but leave a few years in the cellar can give great emotions. The sediments contained in the wine bottle retain it and protect it.

Pairing

Ideal with fish dishes, great with a roll of herb turkey and bacon.

Cellar: Damijan Podversic

Damijan Podversic began his work as a winemaker cultivating a small vineyard of half a hectare used for Chardonnay, which belonged to his grandfather, and above all by listening to his master's advice: Josko Gravner. Damijan begins to purchase 6 hectares of old vineyards on Mount Calvario, planted with Ribolla Yellow, Malvasia, Tocai, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, and manages 2 hectares of Gradiscutta planted in Chardonnay, Malvasia and Tocai, and one hectare and a half To Piedimonte with Tocai, Chardonnay and Malvasia. Damijan is absolutely rigorous in all phases of production from the vineyard to the cellar; In the vineyards practice the biological techniques and decide the harvest time, walk through the vineyards by tasting the peel and the seed, in fact the substances needed to make a good wine are between these two elements. If the grapes are not ready, they will not harvest even knowing they will lose part of their production. Even in the cellar, all stages of the work are characterized by lunar phases, spontaneous fermentations, indigenous yeasts, macerations on the skins even for white wines. The Damijan Podversic wines are authentic, original and you will always hear fruit of all kinds, from peach to citrus fruit to fresh herbs.
