KRASNO ORANGE
Krasno Orange is an orange wine that our oenologist Darinko Ribolica prepared from three varieties which thrive perfectly in the Brda region – Ribolla Gialla, Pinot Grigio, and Sauvignonasse. The wine took one year to macerate. Each variety was macerated separately, Ribolla Gialla in oak barrels, Pinot Grigio 3 days in amphoras and Sauvignonase in stainless steel barrels. Compared to our white wines, Krasno Orange is a richer and more complex wine with more structure. It has a different aromatic profile and more tannins, which is why its shelf life is very long. It can be aged from 5 to 10 years, and we expect it to become softer and more harmonious with time. We recommend you pair it with food with stronger flavours, such as spiced chicken or grilled spicy vegetables.
Orange wines in Slovenia
Slovene winemakers are considered as modern pioneers in the development of the fourth wine color – orange. In fact, several Slovene orange wines are among the best in the world. Orange wines are produced all over Slovenia and by some of the most internationally recognized Slovene winemakers.Krasno Orange was produced according to the principles of sustainable production. At Klet Brda Winery, we are aware that there are no vineyards without nature, and no future without vineyards. By cultivating the land in a professional and responsible manner, our winegrowing families have reached a sustainable harmony with nature and ensured their stable future.
Our vineyards are under a careful supervision of two agronomists, who advise our winegrowing families on the best sustainable production practices. We pay special attention to the preparation of the land and the selection of suitable varieties for individual locations to minimise the need for vine protection treatments. Striving to preserve species diversity, we provide shelter for wild animals, birds, and insects by implementing permanent greening and maintaining the hedges between vineyards.
A bee sign was chosen to symbolise our commitment to sustainable production, as the presence of bees in our vineyards reflects their ecological balance and biodiversity. Furthermore, bees play a key role in pollination – the most important ecosystem function, without which cultivation of food would be impossible.
