He subsequently converted his vineyards—spread around the town and rooted in “Ponca” soils (flysch, opok: calcareous sedimentary rock)—to biodynamic cultivation. The key grape varieties in the vineyards are the regional classics: Friulano, Ribolla Gialla, and Malvasia. In the small cellar, the winemaking is gentle, artisanal, and as minimalistic as possible—with skin fermentation, used oak barrels, and only minimal additions of sulfur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"530\" data-end=\"896\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\" style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000;\"\u003eThrough constant exchange with experienced local winemakers such as Aleks Klinec, his meticulous, site-specific approach to different vineyard parcels, vintages, and cellar developments, and an extraordinary instinct for finesse, Nikolas has, in a remarkably short time, become one of Italy’s top producers.

The vines grow in two carefully selected vineyards – Bosc di Sot and Pradis – located in the Collio region near Cormons. The oldest vines are now around 115 years old, while even the youngest are still a respectable 65 years of age. This proud age results in relatively low yields, but the grapes offer a wealth of extract and even more character. It’s Nikolas’s job to reveal that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"600\" data-end=\"1045\"\u003eTo do so, he farms the vineyards biodynamically, harvests relatively late (usually in mid to late September), and ferments the grapes spontaneously, including the stems. As is customary in the region, he leaves the berries on their skins for a few days (typically between three and a maximum of six) before pressing and completing fermentation. The wine is then matured in large used wooden barrels for 11 months in the case of the Grande Waldo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1047\" data-end=\"1426\"\u003eDespite its remarkable freshness and liveliness, the Grande Waldo has plenty of substance and energy.
