Črna Penina

The grapes come from the Karst near Gorjansko, where red Terra rossa soils lie over weathered limestone. The wine ferments spontaneously without selected yeasts in underground 200- to 2000-litre casks and, after two years of ageing in large wooden casks, undergoes its second fermentation in bottle. It is dry, light-footed and distinctly high in acidity, with fine bubbles, aromas of red flowers, plums and blackcurrants, and a mineral, spicy, long finish. The 2021 vintage is designated as a red sparkling wine made by the traditional method.
