Malvasia
WHITE WINE
Malvazija Istarska, the trademark of the house to which we pay the most attention. It is created by combining three Malvasias from different types of soil and location. These are the well-known positions of northwestern Istria since ancient times, starting from the southern hills around Buje, surrounding Brtonigla and going down to the red soil of the Umaška coast. The white soil gives us softness and harmony, the red soil gives the wine intensity and strength as the character of the winegrower who cultivates it, while the black soil gives the wine fullness and structure. Therefore, on the one hand, our malvasia is adorned with fruity scents with an emphasis on white flowers and citrus flowers, while at the same time it has a delicate and harmonious taste rich in minerals. It is ideally combined with fish dishes, seafood and various pastas.

Bastina
WHITE WINE
It is a more complex and aged wine with the potential for many years of storage. Wine that is also obtained from grapes of the Malvasia variety by selecting the healthiest bunches. In order for the grapes to give the wine all its complexity, this wine underwent an extended maceration of 5 days with frequent aeration without any use of sulfur. The wine obtained in this way was stored in large wooden barrels where it developed for at least a year on its own yeasts into the wine that is offered to you at the table today. It is a wine with a complex aroma reminiscent of dry stone fruits and spices, while the dry taste gently cleanses the palate and calls for another glass. Therefore, this wine is ideally combined with dishes such as pasta with truffles, long stewed chicken shugo, various cheeses and the like.

MUSCAT
Another pearl of the Istrian assortment - muscat. This white muscat develops a special aroma because it is nurtured on red soil.

On the nose, there are notes of fresh basil, which is given by that red earth. A semi-sweet wine where the rest of the grape sugar is not overheated, giving the wine additional softness, while on the other hand, it gives it a touch of freshness.
