THE WINE

THE COMPANY
At just forty years old, Damijan Podversic already boasts incredible experience. He started young, taking care of the few family vineyards, learning everything he could about wine from his only teacher: Josko Gravner. Assisting him in the complex management of the winery-home is his wife Elena, who has been an absolute reference point for Damijan for years. The most important vineyards of the winery, besides the small plots scattered throughout Collio, are located on the wooded south-facing slopes of Monte Calvario, at the gates of Gorizia, in an unspoiled environment perfect for growing healthy and flavorful grapes.
The viticulture practiced is strictly organic, absolutely attentive to the balance and health of the plants. Damijan has been skilled in creating absolutely unique wines, avoiding the use of modern and standardizing refinement practices, instead preferring natural winemaking techniques learned from his teacher Josko. His white wines are both fermented on the skins with natural yeasts and are never released for sale until they are absolutely ready to be tasted.
All these attentions to the various winemaking processes make the Podversic winery astonishing, capable of giving us wines of great depth, rich in the flavors and aromas of Collio.
