Paolo Vodopivec owns this organically and biodynamically farmed Carso estate, on the border with Slovenia, and just north of Trieste. Vodopivec (vo-do-pee-vetz), works solely with the Vitovska grape, and knows it intimately. Only 50 hectares of Vitovska currently exist in Carso, and 6 hectares are owned by the brothers on their limestone plateau estate. Vodopivec, inspired by the wines of Gravner, uses amphorae to age many of his wines. From a vineyard at 260m, and rocky, limestone soils high in iron and magnesium, From a very rocky part of the vineyard at 260m, this Vitovska destemmed and native fermented in Georgian Anfora, in contact with the skins for one year, plunged several times a day. The wine then matured for 18 months in large 3000L Slavonian oak barrels prior to bottling without fining or filtration. Pouring a golden hue, this powerful, textural wine teems with crushed stones, ash, bergamot, and ample mineral salts, woven with elderflower and apricot fuzz. Striking and memorable and age worthy, this is a stunner.
