Sauvignonasse
White wine from the Sauvignonasse variety, vintage 2025. The grapes come from two vineyards in Kozarno and Barbana. Hand-harvested, pressed with destemming. Fermentation proceeded spontaneously, with the addition of pied de cuve. The wine matured for 10 months on the lees in used French barrique barrels. It was filtered before bottling. A dry, full-bodied wine with a moderate alcohol content, a rounded mid-palate, and restrained varietal aromatics. Notes of peach and melon are present, with a hint of Mediterranean herbs in the background; the finish also reveals some woody notes. It does not show pronounced acidity on the palate. The finish is long, with a subtle mineral note.
The producer
Fabricijo
Vinarstvo Fabricijo is a family-run winery dedicated to producing wine organically, with deep respect for nature, the vineyards, and the character of the region. We cultivate 3.5 hectares of vineyards, most of which are in the village of Barbana, with some also in Kozarno, where the location and soil allow us to grow grapes with a distinctive varietal and local character. We are a boutique winery that produces small quantities each year, so we want every wine to be something special. In winemaking, we follow the principles of minimal intervention. The wines are made through natural, spontaneous fermentation, without the addition of selected yeasts, allowing the wine to express the true character of the vintage and the vineyard. We pay particular attention to ageing, as our wines mature in barrique barrels, where they develop depth, structure, and elegance while retaining their freshness and balance. Our philosophy is built on patience, hands-on work, and the conviction that good wine begins in the vineyard.
