Found in Carso, a narrow limestone plateau between the Adriatic Sea and Slovenian border, Paolo Vodopivec makes some of the most alluring skin contact wine, specifically from Vitovska in all of Italy. Having scaled back the amount of time the wine spends on skins over his career to show the mineral, fresh side of the grape, Paolo makes ethereal, singular wines. Dense, but with an airy, mineral quality and cool-toned texture. Crushed rocks, peach skin, chamomile, salty, stone fruit.
