Have you heard of the magical land in the western part of Slovenia, nestled halfway between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea? Until the end of World War II, when the Brda hills were split by a border separating Yugoslavia from Italy, the region had a particular feudal system called Colonate. Under this system, farmers cultivated small areas of land and wine was produced in the cellars of 17 castles, owned by foreign nobility. To this day, terraced vineyards are situated on demanding steep slopes, often requiring manual cultivation. These conditions produce wines of outstanding quality perfectly depicting the story of their origin.
Colliano wines are a true testament to the beauty of sustainable farming practices. The grapes are grown without irrigation, relying solely on the natural rainfall to nourish and cultivate the vines. This approach ensures that the flavors of the grapes are pure and unadulterated, reflecting the unique character of the terroir.
Distinctive fruity character of lemon, acacia, cedar and grapefruit. The wine is elegant and lively on the palate with notes of lemon, peach, cedar and grapefruit, the finish is long and vibrant with a gentle aroma of acacia and vanilla.
