Vipava 1894, Pinela “Lanthieri” v.2022, Vipava Valley, Slovenia 🇸🇮

Overview:
A dry white blend centered on Pinela, another indigenous Vipava Valley grape known for its lively acidity and citrus-driven profile. The wine reflects the region’s breezy valley climate and limestone-influenced soils.

Aromas & Flavors:
Quince, kumquat, citrus zest, white stone fruit, and subtle herbal freshness.

Mouthfeel:
Crisp, energetic, and refreshing with vibrant acidity and a clean, linear structure. The finish is bright and mineral-driven.

Food Pairings:
Mediterranean seafood platters, oysters, grilled shrimp, lemony pasta dishes.

Personal Pick:
One of those wines that instantly feels coastal and refreshing. Perfect for seafood and warm weather sipping.

Verdict:
Bright, citrusy, and vibrant. A great example of Slovenia’s lesser-known native varieties.

🍷 Did You Know?:

Jammy on the front but then funky. Hannah says like eating cherries on the beach - a salient quality - maybe one of them fell on the beach 😂 love it! Worth the splurge — 7 years ago

This is fantastic. Almost a grapefruit mimosa right out of the bottle. Not too sweet.

Ancient Pinella varietal-Veneto origin but now 97% is grown in Slovenia. Floral notes, crisp acidity. Label says 14% abv but seemed much lower than that. Nice find at a local wine shop in Pacifica. — 5 years ago
