Brief History and Origins

Vitovska is a vine with a white berry and has always been cultivated in the province of Triest, especially the municipalities of Sgònico and Duino-Aurisina, stretching across the coastal strip up to Istria. The name of the vine is undoubtedly of Slovenian origin, and was often called Vitovska Garganija. The second name is not deceiving as the bunch of grapes, given that the shape and size of its berry has nothing to do with the Venetian garganega. Some believe that the origin could be around the area of Vipacco, known as Vitovlie, but this vine is still found throughout the whole Karst region.

Colour: straw yellow, which at times can be intense.

Nose: fine, delicate, fresh, fruity, reminiscent of fresh prunes and cherries, Williams pears and sage.

Taste: dry, fresh, smooth, not very alcoholic, with a good fixed acidity. Very pleasant and inviting to drink.

Gastronomic combinations: it is a wine that goes very well with the local cuisine and is very much appreciated as an aperitif in the “Osmizze”.
