What Are We Drinking Now? Krasno Sparkling Rebula

Devin has a Slovenian Sparkler for your Holidays. Yes, we said “Slovenian.”

Krasno Sparkling Rebula

Not usually mentioned when thinking of wine-producing countries, Slovenia produces some exquisite wines, including this bubbler. Give your next mimosa or spritz a little extra sparkle. This wine, from Goriška Brda (yep, that’s spelled correctly), the westernmost region of Slovenia (a.k.a. “The Tuscany of Slovenia”), is made from 100% Ribolla Gialla from 10–to–25-year-old vines. It presents shy aromas of green apple, then bursts with energetic tangerine interwoven with the soft, lingering minerality of marl.

To preserve viticulture in Brda, traditional know-how is passed from the older generations to their daughters and sons — fruit, olive, and other trees grow among the vineyards. Viticulture practices are done manually with great attention to nature’s cycles.

Barbara Macfarlane, owner of Marczyk Fine Foods, is always happy when she gets asked to talk about a favorite wine or spirit. "So many wines, so little time. So like our customers, I depend on the crew to tell me what's new, delicious, and noteworthy. It's true, I get stuck on faves, but the new wines coming in the door are so well chosen! So drink up Denver, we've been doing this for 20 years and we know what's cool!"
