Slovenia in The North Adriatic
The North Adriatic is a fascinating macro-wine region that is less known by the public but brings wines that can compete with the best in the world. The area is divided by 3 country's but through history have always been related.
It consists of the Friuli region in northern Italy, western Slovenia and Istria in Croatia.
Recently, an amazing new book has been released about this area, written by Paul Balke.
My holiday home Hisa Kal is near the middle of this area. The wine world nowadays is too big and too divers to understand all. Focussing on these parts is a challenge on its own
Slovenia has 3 wine regions: Primorska, Podravska and Posavska. The first is part of the North Adriatic
