Made from \u003cstrong\u003ePinot Grigio\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, it acquires its typical hue and enveloping structure thanks to expert maceration. The artisanal approach and \u003cstrong\u003eabsence of filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e ensure a pure and expressive sip, a true mirror of its place of origin. At the table, it proves to be the ideal companion for seafood dishes, shellfish, sushi, and the spicy recipes of Asian cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine is produced in Slovenia, in the historic \u003cstrong\u003eBrda\u003c\/strong\u003e region, also known as the Slovenian Collio. The vines take root in soils composed of \u003cstrong\u003emarl, clay, and limestone\u003c\/strong\u003e, a geological matrix that imparts depth, minerality, and vigour to the structure. The vineyards, situated at around two hundred and fifty metres above sea level with excellent south-west exposure, allow for slow and perfect ripening of the grapes. The management of this Cru follows strict \u003cstrong\u003eorganic and sustainable\u003c\/strong\u003e practices, fully respecting the balance of the local ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins at the end of August with manual harvesting. The must undergoes \u003cstrong\u003espontaneous fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e by indigenous yeasts, followed by \u003cstrong\u003eskin maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e for eight days in truncated conical vats, a crucial phase for extracting colour and defining the aromatic profile. After gentle pressing, the wine matures for twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, then completes its journey with a final ageing of at least six months. This non-invasive process preserves the integrity of the fruit, resulting in a glass with a pronounced personality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fascinating \u003cstrong\u003ePinot Grigio Ramato\u003c\/strong\u003e from Marjan Simčič is a tribute to the Slovenian Collio and originates from the renowned vineyards of Ronc di Zegla, in Brda. The result of a family tradition dating back to 1860, this wine stands out for its \u003cstrong\u003espontaneous fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e and an eight-day maceration on the skins in oak vats. Twelve months of ageing in barrel yield an unfiltered, pure and elegant sip, awarded 92 points by \u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e: an authentic and memorable expression of this extraordinary region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Marjan Simcic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47538854756523,"sku":"62353","price":31.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/products\/domaine-marjan-simcic-brda-cru-selection-pinot-grigio-ramato-2024","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
