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
Intense aromas of pear, green apple, gooseberry, yellow grapefruit, and lemon peel, hints of jasmine flower, grass notes, green tea, and white pepper and minerality. This elegant and refreshing wine will pair well with sashimi, fish, meat carpaccio, raw seafood.
Method
Made from Sauvignon Vert grapes (also known as Sauvignonasse, Friulano or Tocai Friulano). Grapes are destemmed and sorted. After 18h of cold maceration with whole berries, grapes are pressed and fermented via indigenous yeasts. The wine rests for 7 months on the lees in stainless steel tanks.
