Verjan 2023 - Nikolas Juretic

"Verjan" - Nikolas Juretic

Nikolas Juretic's "Verjan" is a wine that comes from a careful selection of grapes from family vineyards, planted in the 60s and 70s, surrounded by fruit trees and woods, which contribute to giving it a unique character rooted in the territory. The 7-day maceration allows to extract aromas and substances from the skin, while the pressing, followed by fermentation and maturation in cement containers, steel and old barrels for 11 months, enriches the organoleptic profile of the wine. After bottling, the wine remains in the bottle for another 6 months before being released for sale, ensuring stability and complexity. The result is a wine of great substance and character, which reflects the essence and tenacity of Nikolas Juretic, the winemaker who produces it. It is a genuine and intense expression, with a fruity character that stands out for its proud personality and authentic style. A wine that speaks of territory, passion and dedication, ideal for those seeking a deep and sincere sensory experience.

Cellar:  Nikolas Juretic

A recent company in an ancient territory. Ancestral viticultural practices to look to the future. The story of Nikolas Juretic juggles between past and future, in a rigorous, innovative, measured, passionate approach. Nikolas, after having enriched his wealth of experience and knowledge of the world of oenology by traveling the world including the one with the famous Simonit & Sirch-Vine Master Pruners, decides to start his own project. The territory is the hilly one of eastern Friuli, specifically in Cormons, right in the lands where he was born and raised. 1.5 hectares of vineyards that extend on the eastern slope of Monte Quarin, and are rooted in the classic land of Friuli, called Ponca. Among the rows of native vines such as Malvasia, Tocai and Ribolla Gialla. In the cellar, Nikolas takes great care of every detail, crushing done with his feet, spontaneous fermentation, maceration on the skins and aging in wooden barrels, all without adding sulphites. The end result is surprisingly fine and elegant wines, which tell true and beautiful stories, in the name of the highest oenology.
