Nando Re Jantar 2018

Dobrovo v Brdih, Slovenia

Nando Winery is a Slovenian but forcibly Italian winery; of the 6 hectares, well over half are in the Italian Collio, the rest in Brda.

The Deus ex Machina is Andrej Kristancic, the latest generation of a historic family of winemakers in the area. Andrej also trained in Italy and through his studies has managed to identify himself with a production approach that is faithful to tradition but modern.

The terroir is sensational, the soil rich in ponca, the climate continental with marine influences; the vines are between 10 and 40 years old, grown in terraces at an altitude of 200 metres with local and international grapes.

Nando is not certified organic but production is absolutely natural from the vineyard to the cellar where, as the only exception in style, homeopathic amounts of sulphur dioxide are added pre-bottling.

Nando is present on the market with 2 different lines: Blue, which indicates wines produced in steel with short macerations on the skins, and Black, on the other hand, which involves long macerations and refinement in exhausted wood
