These cuvees of indigenous Friulian grapes express the incredible time dedicated to fruit development in the field as well as flavour evolution in the cellar. The wines are fermented on skins with natural yeasts for at least 60 days, never bottled or released until they’ve had ample time to develop.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMore than just a quaffable drop, Damijan Podversic’s wines are for the pensive drinker, those that seek an experience in a glass, or as he refers to these wines, “poetry”.\u003cbr\u003eIn Oslavia, in the far eastern corner of Collio, Damijan was exposed to winemaking from an early age as his father produced wine for the family tavern. However, the two separated ways when Damijan decided to make his own wine, intentionally focusing on small production, high quality wines of “greatness”, rather than volume.\u003cbr\u003eHe recovered and enhanced old abandoned vineyards on Monte Calvario, an area that he noticed could be particularly suited to viticulture, at an altitude 110-140 meters above sea level with a southern exposure. He cleared the land, rebuilt terraces, and replanted vines. These first small plots of land are part of the now 10 hectares of densely planted vineyards the company harvests from today. They are farmed organically on the ponca soils — a mixture of marl and sandstone — unique to Gorizia.\u003cbr\u003eDamijan was influenced from several greats in the natural winemaking world, learning a lot from his time under the great Friulian producer Josko Gravner. Like Gravner, his relationship with nature deeply defines the uniqueness of his wines and he has passed along this passion to his daughter. Tamara now thoroughly heads production, under Damijan’s close watch.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe family works primarily with grapes indigenous to the Friulian area, including Ribolla Gialla, Friulano, and Malvasia Istriana. Their wines are fermented on skins with natural yeasts in large neutral oak, never bottled or released until they’ve had ample time to develop. The harvest is painstaking, the aging thorough, the volumes limited, but the unique, quality results are worth it. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTamara Podversic now leads the small-production winery, continuing the legacy that her father, Damijan, built as a benchmark producer of skin contact and Friulian wines. She works fervently with biodynamic viticulture in their family-run vineyards in Collio, Friulia-Venezia Giulia. Tamara’s breadth of experience — from her time working extensively with her father in the cellar, a year winemaking abroad in Burgundy, and her studies in engineering economics — has helped her develop as a key member of the next generation of Friulian winemakers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"damijan-podversic-kaplja-friuli-it-2020","title":"Damijan Podversic Bianco Kaplja - Friuli, It 2021","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSymphony entitled Drop, composed by three artists: Chardonnay, Friulano, Malvasia.
