Winery Gravner

The family estate at Lenzuolo Bianco has been documented since the early 20th century. Under the direction of Joško Gravner, the estate progressively abandoned conventional techniques to experiment with buried Georgian amphorae and minimal-intervention practices. In the 2000s Gravner systematically introduced the use of large terracotta jars for fermentation and aging, producing some of the most notable vintages in the region.

Pragmatic approach to biodiversity and respect for the soil, with a strong focus on non-intervention in the winery: spontaneous fermentations, extended skin macerations, reduced use of chemical interventions, and no or minimal fining/filtration. The stated objective is to express the personality of the grapes and the terroir through long maturation periods.
