The micro appellation is centered in an amphitheater that overlooks the village of Izola and the Adriatic. The stony flysch soils combined with the windy, dry well exposed position are so conducive to organic cultivation that certifying the vineyards was more a matter of paperwork than adjusting farming practices. Zaro Pivol Malvazija is the style of Istrian Malvazija that most defines the variety. It is a heady ambrosial dry wine. Sunny and saline. Suited most of all for simple preparations of shellfish doused in olive oil or salt cured ham. Grapes are typically harvested the first half of September. After a strict selection in the vineyard the grapes are destemmed and combined in 2 2000l Slovenian oak tonne. Fermentation is spontaneous without temperature control on the skins. After 30 days wine is racked through the press back into a combination of tonne and used barriques. All wine was with lees for 12 months and finished malolactic fermentation. Unfined, unfiltered. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black Lamb Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47480407556283,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0535\/0227\/9867\/files\/zaromalvfront.jpg?v=1771963968","url":"https:\/\/blacklambwine.com\/products\/zaro-pivol-refosk-copy","provider":"Black Lamb Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
