    Winemaker Notes

    At sight, the wine maintains its delicacy and elegance with a beautiful straw-yellow color. Considered the “queen” of the Carso viticulture, the Vitovska has specific characteristics that are emphasized with the red and draining soils of the Carso. The fruity flavors embed themselves with various aromatic sensations and the floral accents take turns with the marine scents. When tasting, the wine emits a mineral flavor, yet slightly balsamic, fresh and on the finish touch, embracing.

    Kante Kante Winery Winery Image
    In the 1980s, Edi Kante tunneled deep into the limestone hillsides of the Carso to form his cellar, to construct a vineyard, layer by layer, right over the top. The spectacular state of the art cellar is carved three stories down, each layer held at a different constant temperature by the surrounding rock. The estate is situated in the heart of the Carso, on hillsides facing the Gulf of Trieste along the Adriatic Sea. Here, the influence of the sea, protected by a barrier of limestone rock, and the continental climate allows for the optimum ripening of grapes with powerful aromatics and acidity. Described as a perfectionist and a resolute eccentric, Edi is also an innovator; he has devised a new 500ml bottle and its correspondent 1L "magnum" with a tight bottleneck fitted with narrow corks, allowing optimal permeability to improve the finishing and maturation process.

    There are hundreds of white grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles.

    The source of some of Italy’s best and most distinctive white wines, Friuli-Venezia Giulia is where Italian, Germanic and Slavic cultures converge. The styles of wines produced in this region of Italy's far north-east reflect this merging of cultures. Often shortened to just “Friuli,” the area is divided into many distinct subzones, including Friuli Grave, Colli Orientali del Friuli, Collio Goriziano and Carso. The flat valley of Friuli Grave is responsible for a large proportion of the region’s wine production, particularly the approachable Pinot grigio and the popular Prosecco. The best vineyard locations are often on hillsides, as in Colli Orientali del Friuli or Collio. In general, Friuli boasts an ideal climate for viticulture, with warm sunny days and chilly nights, which allow grapes to ripen slowly and evenly.

    In Colli Orientali, the specialty is crisp, flavorful white wine made from indigenous varieities like Friulano (formerly known as Tocai Friulano), Ribolla gialla and Malvasia Istriana.

    Red wines, though far less common here, can be quite good, especially when made from the deeply colored, rustic Refosco variety. In Collio Goriziano, which abutts Slovenia, many of the same varieties are planted. International varieties like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc are also common, but they tend to be Loire-like in style with herbaceous character and mellow tannins. Carso’s star grape is the red Teranno, notable for being rich in iron content and historically consumed for health purposes. It has an earthy, meaty profile and is often confused with the distinct variety Refosco.
