Venezia Giulia Vitovska “MM17 only” from Vodopivec is made from pure Vitovska grapes from a selection of old Karst vineyards, characterised by calcareous rocky soils and very low yields. Winemaking follows an artisanal and natural approach: spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and long maceration on the skins, conducted to enhance the maximum expressiveness of the grape variety. Refinement takes place in large wooden barrels and/or amphorae, followed by a long rest in the bottle, without filtration or clarification, to preserve integrity, depth, and territorial identity.
Deep golden yellow color with bright amber reflections. On the nose it is broad and layered, with notes of ripe fruit, candied citrus, medicinal herbs, dried flowers, honey and a marked mineral and saline component typical of the Karst. On the palate it is structured, tense and vibrant, with a fine but well-present tannic texture, great flavour and notable persistence. The finish is long, dry and consistent, with citrus and mineral returns.
Wine of great personality and complexity, ideal for in-depth tastings and sought-after gastronomic pairings. It pairs perfectly with structured seafood dishes, shellfish, baked or grilled fish, elaborate white meats, complex vegetarian dishes, and aged cheeses.
To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a serving temperature of 10/12°C.
