This renowned orange wine is born from a harmonious blend that combines the elegance of \u003cstrong\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e, the structure of Friulano, and the aromatic richness of Malvasia. In the glass, it presents a slightly opalescent antique golden yellow hue, heralding a full and smooth sip. The flavour profile is warm and enveloping, characterised by great balance and a \u003cstrong\u003elong savoury persistence\u003c\/strong\u003e that defines its profound character. The presence of any natural sediments is an intrinsic feature that protects and preserves the wine's organoleptic qualities over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes destined for this blend come from the hills of \u003cstrong\u003eCollio\u003c\/strong\u003e, a historic wine-growing area in the heart of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The rows of vines stretch between one hundred and ten and one hundred and forty metres above sea level, benefiting from optimal south and south-west exposures that ensure perfect ripening of the bunches. The secret of this complexity lies in the \u003cstrong\u003eponca soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, rocky formations composed of alternating marl and sandstone. This unique geological structure, combined with the warm and breezy climate, gives the fruit extraordinary extractive richness and imparts a pronounced \u003cstrong\u003estructural minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e that supports the wine's long evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vinification process follows a meticulous approach, starting with a long \u003cstrong\u003eskin fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e in large truncated conical oak vats, lasting from sixty to ninety days. After this maceration period, the wine matures patiently in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e to complete its olfactory architecture, then rests for a further period of refinement. The result is a dense and multifaceted aromatic spectrum, where penetrating notes of beeswax, almond, and \u003cstrong\u003echestnut honey\u003c\/strong\u003e stand out. The bouquet gradually opens to hints of bergamot, pear, and black tea, finally closing on subtle floral notes of linden and alfalfa.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eKaplja 2021\u003c\/strong\u003e by Damijan Podversic, whose name evokes the preciousness of a “drop”, is an excellent \u003cstrong\u003eskin-contact wine\u003c\/strong\u003e created from a blend of Chardonnay, Friulano and Malvasia grapes. Produced on ponca soils in a warm year characterised by a touch of botrytis, this gem from Collio is the result of skilful and lengthy vinification on the skins. The essence of the wine is preserved by its \u003cstrong\u003enatural sediments\u003c\/strong\u003e in the bottle, which ensure a savoury, warm and enveloping persistence, confirmed by the prestigious 95 points from Vinous and 5 Grappoli from Bibenda.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Podversic Damijan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45730529869995,"sku":"58696","price":43.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/damijan-podversic-kaplja-2021_58696_1_668d6be7-72ea-490f-b203-0bc90acd1a73.webp?v=1773787031","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/products\/damijan-podversic-kaplja-2021","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
