Tim: nice review, and clever going over the border into Slovenia. An interesting place for wine.

I’ve added this wine to Vinismo, which you can see here:

Any changes or updates appreciated.

Hey, I’ll have to ask Ales next time I see him if the Gredic vineyard is physically in Italy, Slovenia, or both. All of Movia’s wines, btw, are allowed to be labeled Collio; they choose to Brda instead.

Actually, as of last year it’s now known in Slovenia as Sauvignonase. EU regulations, along with badgering from Hungary previously, forced the new name. Glad you enjoyed it!

I’m still holding a 2002 and 2003 of this wine…maybe it’s time to open, as you say the 2004 is now showing so well.

Btw, the Slovenian spelling of Tocai Friulano is on the label in your photo, and not at all what you say it is above.
