Around 30 grape varieties grow on the 10 hectares of vineyards at Barranco Oscuro. 31 is what Lorenzo Valenzuela once said a few years ago, but one or two may have been added in the meantime. The Valenzuelas try things out, see what suits their rather unique terroir best and have no fear of conta...

Manuel and Lorenzo Valenzuela own 1200 Pedro Ximenez vines. They are not rooted in chalky Alabariza soils near the Atlantic in Jerez, where PX has its ancestral home, but in grey-brown slate at 1300 metres in the Andalusian Alpujarras.  Although the two share the intentions of their fellow winema...

There are white grape varieties that are best suited to classic vinification (Riesling, Sylvaner, Vernaccia, Pecorino...). Others do well both macerated and immediately pressed (Ribolla gialla, Vermentino, Timorasso, Nosiola, Fiano, Garganega...) and then there are those that only show their true...

The Masini brothers are usually one step ahead of their time. For example, they were among the first to allow their white grapes to come into contact with the skins for a few days and to refrain from adding sulphites to all their wines. Decades of experience have not only made them pioneers and i...

Querciole is a frizzante made from Spergola that makes almost everything that comes from Prosecco look old and rather bland. The intention may be similar, but what Ca' de Noci bottles year after year for secondary fermentation is usually miles ahead of its much more famous frizzante colleagues in...

Some grape varieties make the leap beyond local borders, others do not, although it is not always clear why. Spergola has a subtle flavour that is reminiscent of white flowers when classically vinified. If the grapes are left on the skins for a while, orange peel and clove flavours are often adde...

In itself, Teran ...

The art of foam wine production is also one of the many talents of Branko and Vasja Čotar. For this they take their own way. For example, you attach great importance to the quality of your basic wine, for which only flawless malvazija and Vitovska grapes are read in minimal quantities (32HL/ha) a...

The word Karst is derived from the Latin Carsus, a word that the Romans once used for stony and sterile areas. For the Friulan Karst, for example. Most of it is made of limestone and stores water so badly that it is rather hostile to life for 99% of the fauna and flora: not so for sandoters, bock...
