Damijan, Skin-Contact Friulano Blend, Bianco Kaplja, Gorizia 2020
Damijan Podversic pursues natural winemaking, which he learned from the great Friulian producer Josko Gravner. His Collio Biancos are fermented on the skins with natural yeasts; he never bottles or releases a wine unless it has had ample time to develop.
Kaplja (meaning drop in traditional Slovene) is a skin-contact wine made from Chardonnay, Friulano, and Malvasia Istriana. The maceration lasts 60-90 day and is done in large oak barrels. After fermentation is ages for 3 years in oak and an additional 1 year in bottle before release. This is a serious, contemplative skin-contact wine with incredible texture and aromatic intensity. Pair with your favorite cheese and prepare to be dazzled.
