Collio Bianco DOC "Kaplja" 2020 – Damijan Podversic

A white wine with overwhelming expressive power, "Kaplja" – which means drop in Slovenian – is the symbol of the artisanal and visionary approach of Damijan Podversic, a Friulian winemaker who has made skin maceration and respect for the territory his unmistakable signature.

Made from an undisclosed blend, but dominated by indigenous and international white grape varieties, Kaplja comes from grapes grown on marl and stony soils of Collio, vinified with spontaneous fermentation and 60-90 days of skin maceration in oak vats, with daily punching down. The wine then rests for about 23 months in wood and another 6 months in bottle, unfiltered.

In the glass, it presents with a deep golden yellow, almost amber, a prelude to an extraordinary olfactory complexity: ripe and candied fruit, dehydrated peach and apricot, honey, citrus zest, and sweet spices chase and blend together.

The sip is ample, warm, velvety, but always supported by a lively acidity and a deep savory vein, which balances the body and prolongs the finish.

A wine that excites, tells the story of the territory, and challenges conventions, perfect for pairing with structured and spicy dishes, such as curry risottos, fish ragout, or shrimp and zucchini.
