Originally founded in 1820, the Movia winery and estate in Brda (Slovenia) was one of Europe’s most famous wineries in the years that followed World War II. Located in the village of Ceglo in the heart of the Brda appellation, just across the border from Italy; a stone’s throw away from Friuli-Venezia-Giulia’s Collio region. Movia put the Slovenia on the map of the world’s great wine regions in the late 1990s when the interest in wines grown in former Eastern Bloc states began to flourish.
The current generation of Movia is led by winemaker Aleš Kristančič who is as renowned for his passionate embrace of organic and biodynamic farming practices as he is for his larger-than-life personality and ingenious approach to winemaking.
Today, Aleš primarily grows Rebula, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, and Pinot Noir — all without the use of herbicides, pesticides, or fungicides.
Tasting Notes
A wine with a deep, ruby red color and dense texture. Its accentuated and refined bouquet intertwines perceptions of fruit with its ageing in large oak barrels. Hints of blackcurrant, blueberry, blackberry, and mulberry, that connect with violets, licorice, fern, and humus. Over time, the aromas of chocolate and coffee open. The taste is intense, fine. Softness, with well-integrated alcohol, at the same time making a refreshing and tannic effect. The tannins are youthful, they dry our palate and play with freshness in an intense and long-lasting, elegant taste. A full-bodied wine with an elegant taste that confirms the flavors of black berries, pepper, and smoke. It will be the right accompaniment to a Florentine steak, or a dish where venison reigns supreme, accompanied by some chocolate or other sweet sauce. – Valentin Bufolin Best Sommelier of Slovenia 2022, Vice president of Slovenian Sommelier Association
