Vitovska

Vitovska is a white grape variety grown exclusively in Friuli Venezia Giulia, in particular in the hinterland of Trieste and in the Slovenian Karst. It is a native white grape variety, which has adapted to the difficult conditions of this strip of land on the far eastern border of our peninsula. The hot and dry climate, beaten by the violence of the Bora, which blows from the north-east and the limestone soils, covered by little red earth rich in iron and other minerals, constitute its natural habitat. The main Italian producers cultivate the grapes in Prepotto, a small fraction of Duino Aurisina and it is due to their tenacity and their desire not to abandon the most ancient traditions, if we can still taste this interesting white today. The wine is fresh and savory, with aromas of wild flowers and freshly cut hay. It is a sunny and Mediterranean wine, with iodized and sometimes brackish memories, which recall the environment in which the grapes are grown.
