Movia Puro 2017 Slovenia

Straddling the border of Italy and Slovenia, Movia is in the heart of the Collio. However, the winery is actually located on the Slovenian side of the border and as such is designated the appellation “Brda” (Slovenian for “Collio”). The Movia estate has been making wine for over three centuries and was purchased by the Kristančič family in 1820, passing through generations, with the work being done by current winemaker Aleš Kristančič. 

A wine with a crystalline, golden yellow color. Many tiny and fairly persistent bubbles are expressed.Its accentuated bouquet pampers us with hints of ripe apple, mango, pineapple, bergamot, tea tree and Mediterranean herbs, where thyme stands out. We also sense a gentle hint of bread crust, butter, vanilla and roasted nuts.

It is a bone-dry sparkling wine that reveals softness and perceptible warmth on the palate, with a youthful freshness standing out. Its bubbles caress and pamper us with a distinctive mineral signature. Its intense taste expresses in a structured and persistence presence of accentuated elegance. Flavours of citrus, tropics and herbs are repeated in the mouth. 100% Chardonnay No skin maceration. Aged for 1 year in stainless steel, followed by a minimum of 3.5 years in bottle before release.
