Skerlj Venezia Giulia Vitovska 2017
Vitovska is a white grape native to Carso, its home the rugged wilderness of this imposing limestone plateau between Italy and Slovenia. It is both light and weighty, bone dry and sensually ripe; there are few whites as alluring, as hard to pin down, as this wily grape. Lemon oil, almonds, wildflowers; white peaches and apricots flood the palate. Fermented on wild yeasts and aged in ancient barrels for two years, then bottled unfined and unfiltered.

The 2017 Vitovska is decidedly savory and spicy, wafting up a beguiling display of sour apple, pear and lemon, complemented by hints of white pepper. It’s soft and almost fleshy upon entry, yet it quickly firms up through a display of brisk acids and minerals that nearly sizzle in the mouth. Inner florals dominate the finale, along with a tug of residual tension. The Skerlj Vitovska is fermented in oak vats for three weeks without temperature control before being moved to barrel for another twenty-four months. (Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2021)
