Cellar
Damijan began his life as a winegrower by cultivating a small chardonnay vineyard owned by his grandfather. His great teacher? Josko Gravner. Over time, he began to acquire old vineyards of Ribolla, Malvasia, Tokaji and Cabernet on Mount Calvario. Damijan is absolutely rigorous in all stages of production from the vineyard to the cellar; in the vineyards he practices organic techniques and in order to decide the harvest time, he walks through the vineyards tasting the skin and the seed, because the substances needed to make an excellent wine are between these 2 elements. If the grapes are not ready, they are not harvested even knowing that they will lose part of their production. Even in the cellar, all the stages of work are marked by the phases of the moon, spontaneous fermentation, indigenous yeasts, maceration on the skins even for white wines. A land made of ponca and the greatest job of the winemaker is to know how to listen to nature.
Description
Kaplja Sinfonia entitled Goccia composed of three artists: Chardonnay, Friulano, Malvasia. Each gives its own characteristic to the wine, making it balanced and harmonious on the nose and in the mouth. The pronounced start with the aromatic fragrance of the Friulano gives the aromatic continuity in the mouth of the Malvasia, widening out leaving a long, soft and savoury finish of the Chardonnay. A creamy and opulent wine.
The sediment in the bottle inherent to wine preserves and protects it.
It is recommended to serve the wine at a temperature of 15°C.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Amber gold colour. The nose expresses a precious treasure chest of scents from the simplest to the most complex, almonds, chestnut honey, bergamot, pear and black tea with a floral background of lime and alfalfa and beeswax. The sip is equally persuasive, satisfying and long lasting.
Storage time:
2-7 years
Vinification
Fermentation takes place in the presence of the skins in oak conical vats for 60 to 90 days.
