Piquentum (Dimitri Brecevic)

Piquentum was founded by Dimitri Brečević, a winemaker born in France with Istrian roots. Brečević studied oenology in Bordeaux and worked at Domaine de Chevalier, among other places, as well as in Australia and New Zealand. Depending on the source, the estate farms around five to six hectares and produces approximately 25,000 to 30,000 bottles a year. Work in the vineyard is organic and carried out by hand; in the cellar, spontaneous fermentation, minimal intervention and unfiltered bottlings predominate. The winery is housed in a converted concrete water tank dating from 1928.
