Winemaker Notes

"Ales Kristancic reinterpreted sparkling wine in Puro. Mostly ribolla with similar portions of chardonnay and pinot noir; he kicks over the second fermentation in bottle by adding unfermented must from the new harvest and a starter of indigenous yeast. It's shipped undisgorged; plan to stand the bottle upside down a day before serving to let all the sediment collect in the neck, then chill before opening it in a basin of water. The sediment explodes from the bottle, leaving a relatively clear liquid in stasis with the water until you turn the bottle right side up, ready to pour. More substantial than fine champagne and no less elegant, this is as umami in flavor as it is fruity. Notes of brioche, of mushrooms and lees, of grilled pineapple and baked pear come first. Then, with air, the spice and strawberry scents of pinot noir grow more apparent. Serve this with meaty grilled fish or grilled lobster."

Movia Winery Image
Lying along the prime strip of land that adjoins the Italian and the Slovenian sides of the Collio, the Movia estate has been in existencesince the year 1700. It was purchased by the Kristancic family in 1820 and is currently run by the iconic Ales Kristancic. Growing up in the vineyards and winery on many a late evening and Saturday afternoon when he would have preferred to play soccer, the new moon rose and Ales dutifully helped his father transfer wines from barrel to barrel. Today he passionately implements the rigorous biodynamic principles handed down to him while simultaneously experimenting to produce wines of unprecedented purity and authenticity. His distinct vision stems from the wisdom of eight generations spent among the vines and in the cellar coupled with a natural intuition toward to relationship between nature, soil, vines, and wine.

Representing the topmost expression of a Champagne house, a vintage Champagne is one made from the produce of a single, superior harvest year. Vintage Champagnes account for a mere 5% of total Champagne production and are produced about three times in a decade. Champagne is typically made as a blend of multiple years in order to preserve the house style; these will have non-vintage, or simply, NV on the label. The term, "vintage," as it applies to all wine, simply means a single harvest year.

A picturesque, eastern European wine growing nation, Slovenia can claim one of the most ancient winemaking cultures in all of Europe. Its history dates back to the Celts and Illyrians tribes, well before the Romans had any influence on France, Spain or Germany. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that Slovenia developed a more refined, private-sector wine industry.

Today it is a powerful source of some of the industry’s most important orange wines (whites made with extended skin contact); furthermore, fully three quarters of the country’s wine production is white.

Slovenian weather is continental with hot summers and cold, wet winters. It is divided into three wine regions: Podravje in Slovenia’s northeast; Primorska in its west, close to Italy; and Posavje in its southeast. These are further divided to nine wine districts.
