Sivi Pinot 2022 - Movia

Sivi Pinot - Movia

The Sivi Pinot by Movia is a white wine with personality and strength that is produced with the grapes of the same name. The grapes come from vineyards of about 40 years grown organically that grow on Flysch land. The start of fermentation is spontaneous with the help of a "pied de cuve" of the same grape harvested in the pre-harvest period. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation malolactic fermentation is carried out in barriques on the fine lees without racking and without the use of sulfur. Aging on the fine lees for 1 year and a half in French oak barrels and then for 4 months in the bottle. The Sivi Pinot  has a golden yellow color. The nose expresses aromas of fruit and flowers, spicy and mineral notes. On the palate it is powerful, sapid, fat and of excellent persistence.

Cellar: Movia

Movia is situated on the border between Slovenia and Italy, on the splendid slopes of the Slovenian Collio called Brda. The story of the Movia family dates back to the beginning of 1700, but it is only in the nineteenth century that after the marriage between a descendant of the Movia family and Mr Kristancic, wine production began. Immediately, the wines of Movia were distinguished by the strong character, the overwhelming quality and the elegance of the fact that their fame soon crossed the national boundaries. Very active during the Second World War in the liberation of Yugoslavia by Nazi troops, they were rewarded by Marshal Tito, who left him wide freedom of wine production avoiding the nationalization of the vineyards. Today, the company is led by Ales Kristancic, which cultivates 22 hectares of vineyards located among the best plots between the Brda region and the Italian Collio. Ales has maintained the same production philosophy of wines produced according to the oenological tradition, without resorting to chemical means both in the vineyard and in the cellar, without any filtration, without oenological intervention and with the utmost respect for nature. Vineyards are Chardonnay, Ribolla Yellow, Tocai, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir for the production of both sparkling wines and still wines. Certainly the most famous wine is Pure White Brda, a sparkling wine produced with Chardonnay and Ribolla Gialla, which is not released so that the consumer can taste and enjoy the moment of degorgement.
