Movia Description
Originally founded in 1820, the Movia winery and estate in Brda (Slovenia) had already become one of Europe’s most famous wineries in the years that followed World War II. Its celebrity was bolstered by the fact that its wines were favorites of Marshal Tito who ruled over Slovenia and its neighbor Croatia as part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia until 1980.
Located in the village of Ceglo in the heart of the Brda appellation, literally a stone’s throw from the Italian border, Movia is widely put the Slovenia on the map of the world’s great wine regions in the late 1990s when the interest in wines grown in former Eastern Bloc states began to flourish.
The current generation of Movia is led by winemaker Aleš Kristančič who is as renowned for his passionate embrace of organic and biodynamic farming practices as he is for his larger-than-life personality and ingenious approach to winemaking.
Today, Aleš primarily grows Rebula, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, and Pinot Noir — all without the use of herbicides, pesticides, or fungicides. The Rebula and Pinot Grigio are generally bottled separately while the Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay are used in blended wines.
Tasting Note: Brilliant, cherry pink in color, with a slight tinge of copper. It forms long chains of tiny bubbles that bloom elegantly at the top. Its intense bouquet evokes scents of orange peel, ripe peach, raspberry, currant, red rose, roasted almonds, notes of wild mint, as well as butter and rye bread crust. Brut Nature with perceivable softness. Alcohol is nicely incorporated and aligns well with an intense refreshing feeling and mineral salinity of the wine. The latter is felt through a pleasant bitterness.
It is a wine of intense perceptions, with emphasized elegance, lasting persistency, and a full body. A balanced wine that enchants in its complexity and liveliness, which will only develop overages.
Wine Pairing: It can be drunk on its own, but it will be elegantly accompanied by steak tartare, pasta and risottos, which we have enriched with meat, as well as mushrooms.
