Here different varieties are cultivated, in particular the white ones, which are then divided into native and international varieties. Among the white grapes, one of the most typical of the area is the Ribolla Gialla; called Rebula on the Slovenian side. Historically, this region has been called by many different names. The name that remains, however, is from the period in which this territory found its greatest notoriety. By the way, it’s impossible to speak about just one Rebula / Ribolla, since different types belong to this family, including the yellow grape varieties of small bunch grapes, variety of large grapes and even the variation of green Rebula. However, thanks to the climate of Brda, combining the freshness of the Alps, and the influences of the Mediterranean Sea, the wines of this region display a rich aromatic composition.

The most distinctive feature of the Brda wines is, however, their minerality, due to a particular component of the soil – the world-famous ‘ponca’, or Opoka. It is clear, however, that this is one of those rare cases in which a wine varietal, instead of dividing, unites two territories separated by a national border but sharing territorial and, consequently, wine-growing affinities. The rest is the magic of interpretation, which allows expert winemakers to experiment with fermentation and aging, and always having the identity of the wine in mind, to give the consumers all the beauty and variety of a wine varietal that holds some of the most remarkable winemaking experiences in the world.
