More questions

Sparkles for this wine with a straw yellow color and golden nuances. 

Pouring it into the glass you immediately perceive the great structure of the wine, given by the halo imprinted on the glass which gradually diminishes. 

Herbaceous and fruity on the nose at the same time, with a touch of flint and Mediterranean scrub. Notes of ripe apples and tropical fruits typical of the vine are perceived. While in the mouth it is a spark of power, warm and mineral, and despite the modest acidity it is therefore extremely harmonious and elegant. Ripe fruit flavors including pears, apples and peaches.

  • Production of white and red wines and a traditional-method sparkling wine.

The story
The winery bears the family nickname "Dolfo," and the estate's history is linked to the Skočaj family. The modern approach to production was established at the end of the 20th century, when wines labeled DOLFO first appeared on the market; the official page notes the appearance of DOLFO‑labelled bottles in 1989. Over the years the estate has expanded its vineyards and winemaking facilities in the Brda/Ceglo area.
Production philosophy
It favors manual vineyard care and cultivation practices that emphasize territorial quality; at the same time production is described as conventional, using natural organic fertilizers and paying careful attention to soil management and exposure.
Terroir and vineyards
It is located in Ceglo, in the Goriška Brda area, with vineyards that extend partly into Slovenia and partly into Italy. The local soils are characterized by the so-called "opoka", a calcareous/clayey sedimentary formation that contributes to the wines' sapidity; the vineyards are planted on terraces with sunny exposures and elevations in the area ranging from approximately 80 to 200 meters.
Awards and recognition
Positive evaluations in specialized publications: for example, scores of up to approximately 91–92 points for some vintages in trade magazines and industry portals.
