Movia Puro Rose 2015 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. 

Brilliant, light pink color with a copper tint. Numerous, tiny, and fairly lasting pearls glow playfully in the glass.

Highlighted aromas express raspberry, currant, red orange, and pomegranate. This is followed by pleasant perceptions revealing hints of the wine matured in barrique intertwined with autolytic perceptions. Aromas of brittle dough, vanilla, almonds, butter, bread crust, and the finish is reminiscent of Mediterranean herbs.

The wine is bone-dry but offers plenty of softness. Its freshness is youthful, followed by a minerality that balances the taste. An intense wine with accentuated elegance and with just the right structure to call for another glass. In the mouth, it offers a long-lasting aftertaste with perceptions of red orange and wild strawberry tart. 100% Pinot Noir. 1 day of skin maceration. Aged for 1 year in stainless steel, followed by a minimum of 3.5 years in bottle before release.
