The Primorska appellation, located in the western region of Slovenia, is one of the country's main wine-growing areas. Known for its picturesque landscapes and Mediterranean climate, Primorska offers ideal conditions for viticulture. This region is distinguished by the diversity of its terroirs, providing a rich variety of red and white wines. The emblematic grape varieties include Refošk and Teran, renowned for their robust and earthy notes, as well as Malvasia istriana, a white grape that perfectly expresses the minerality of the karst soil.
In addition to these indigenous varieties, Primorska also cultivates international grape varieties such as Merlot and Chardonnay, which develop unique nuances here thanks to maritime climatic influences. The vineyards of Primorska are primarily distributed among the sub-regions of Littoral, Vipava, Krast, and Brda, each contributing its own character to the wines produced. This diversity allows the region to offer wines that range from fresh and light to rich and complex, thus appealing to both new enthusiasts and seasoned connoisseurs.
Primorska is an emerging destination on the global wine scene, captivating enthusiasts with its combination of innovation and tradition.
