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
