Where are we traveling?

Brda Besides the fact that Brda is the home of the best Slovenian white wines, it is a wine region where the Alps kiss the Mediterranean. Brda is located on the border between Slovenia and Italy, around the town of Gorizia. Vineyards stretch along the border in both countries. The Slovenian part of the region is called Brda (the Gorizia Hills) and in Italy Colio. The vineyards cover 2000ha in Slovenia and 1500ha in Italy. What makes this wine region special is the climate, the soil and the people. In a word: the terroir. The geographical position of Brda creates advantageous climatic conditions where the coolness of the Alpine climate is mixed with the warm air of the Mediterranean. The Gorizia hills are very close to the Alps. The sun is very abundant here, which, in combination with the warm air from the Adriatic Sea, stimulates the good ripening of the grapes, whether red or white. The cool Alpine breeze helps the grapes retain their freshness and acidity.

The little history of the country

Slovenia

Slovenia is a small European country with a long history of wine production. The cultivation of vines dates back to the Celts who were the first to produce wine in the territory of what is now Slovenia, 400 years before Christ. With the arrival of the Romans in the first century AD, the cultivation of vines developed further. But let's talk a little about what happened over the last century: despite the cultural and political unrest that besieged the Balkan states, Slovenia has maintained its wine industry, which has been particularly prosperous since the country gained its independence. of the former Yugoslavia. Slovenia has a diverse geography, offering a wide variety of microclimates. The region is bordered to the north by the Austrian Alps, to the west by Italy and the Adriatic Sea, to the east by Hungary and to the south by Croatia. Grape varieties grown in Slovenia exhibit Italian influence in the west, Germanic influence in the east, and a growing "international" French influence in general. This multi-influence contributes to a very varied and astonishing typology of wines!
