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?:
Pinela has been cultivated in the Vipava Valley since the Middle Ages and remains one of the region’s signature indigenous grapes. — 2 years ago

Ruby red color with a rich bouquet of fruit, spices and floral notes. On the palate flavors of sour cherry and raspberry with notes of pepper, cinnamon and floral. Long finish, nice balance with fine soft tannins ending with earthy notes. Enjoyable now, a few more years will benefit. — 2 months ago

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

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
