Varietals: 100% Refošk (refosco) 

Appellation: Truške, Istria, Slovenia 

Climate: Mild Mediterranean, with dry and hot summers, and mild winters. 

Terrain: The picturesque hills near Marezige and Truške are located 5 km from the Adriatic sea, more specifically the Gulf of Trieste. Rodica family vineyards are planted at 250-350 meters asl, terraced, facing South. They enjoy significant day-night temperature swings, constant breezes, which keeps the vineyards well-ventilated and naturally healthy for organic farming. The soil is rich with minerals, consisting predominantly of limestone. The vines are forced to “fight” to get water, which results in better quality grapes. 

Tasting Notes: A naturally made sparkling Refosco. Think undisgorged Champagne method red sparkling wine. Typical varietal aromas of red berries and spices, along with funkier aromas of hay and forest floor. Inky, juicy, amazingly refreshing, with bright acidity and chewy tannins. 

Serve it cold as an aperitif, with charcuterie, young cheeses, or not so sweet forest berry desserts and dark chocolate.
