Descrizione

Amfora Redče from Cantina Erzetiĉ is born in the heart of the Carso region, a territory characterized by a unique microclimate and calcareous-clayey soil that gives the wine a strong and distinctive territorial identity. This red comes from a careful selection of native grape varieties, cultivated using traditional methods and aged in terracotta amphorae, a technique that enhances the natural expression of the fruit and gives the wine an unprecedented softness and aromatic persistence.

In the glass, Amfora Redče presents an intense ruby color, accompanied by complex aromas of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, and light earthy notes. On the palate, it is enveloping, structured but elegant, with silky tannins and a fresh acidity that extends the finish. Ideal paired with meat dishes, aged cheeses, or rustic flavors of the local tradition, it is a wine that tells the authentic vocation and passion of Cantina Erzetiĉ for its own territory.

Winery history

The Erzetič family has been in Višnjevik for centuries: the family estate has documented historical roots dating back to 1725 and in recent decades has been revitalised by the younger generations. The winery blends the traditional heritage of terraced vineyards with investments in the cellar and projects to transition to ecological practices.

Production philosophy

The approach combines respect for the land with contemporary techniques: careful viticultural practices, stainless-steel vinification for fresh wines, and selected ageing in oak barrels and large buried amphorae to express terroir and longevity.

Terroir and vineyards

Situated in Višnjevik, Goriška Brda, the estate cultivates terraced vineyards on soils rich in marls and laporti, with flysch formations. The microclimate is influenced by the proximity of the Adriatic Sea and alpine currents, factors that contribute to the minerality and acidity typical of the local wines.

Awards and recognitions

The winery has received recognition in international competitions; public listings include medals at the Decanter World Wine Awards for some labels, including the Rebula in some editions.
