THE WINE

The Vitovska from the Castelvecchio winery is made with 100% Vitovska grapes; we are taking about an autochthonous grape variety typical of the Karst area.

THE WINEMAKING

After the manual harvest, only the selected grapes are brought to the cellar for winemaking. The bunches are softly pressed; fermentation takes place in steel at controlled temperature; the wine then ages, in steel, on the lees for a few months. After assembly and bottling, the wine rests for additional few months in the cellar before being placed on the market.

THE TASTING

Limpid straw yellow. The aroma is very delicate with evident hints of honey followed by aromatic notes of thyme and puffs of beeswax. Fresh and fragrant on the palate with a slight note of acidity. Excellent persistence.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Perfect as an aperitif, it goes well with fish. Must try with sushi.

THE WINERY

The winery Castelvecchio is located just above Sagrado, where the Gorizia Karst offers unthinkable corners of nature and tranquility. The view enjoyed from here is truly unique and in particular days it embraces the entire Friuli Venezia Giulia Region from the mountains to the sea. The landscape of the area merges very well with the noble and ancient origins… go to the winery page
