Collio Bianco DOC "Kaplja" 2021

Damijan Podversic's Kaplja is vinified and aged in oak, with fermentation on the skins for 60 to 90 days and several punch-downs a day. After about 23 months in casks it is bottled and left to age for a further six months before release, without filtration. Deep golden, almost amber, it offers intense concentrated aromas of ripe sweet fruit, peach and candied apricot, honey, sweet spice and a touch of citrus. The palate is broad and soft, with a fine balance between acidity and savouriness. It suits first courses such as saffron or curry risotto, fish ragù paccheri and prawn and courgette risotto.
