Damijan
Damijan Podversic started out in the
family business as a negociant. But when he found a small
abandoned plot in the Collio Goriziano, he ignored the common
attitude that it was too difficult to work and eagerly bought
it. He cleared the land, rebuilt terraces, and set to replanting
it: not only does he now cultivate top-quality grapes, but
his once skeptical neighbors eye his steep mountaintop vineyard
with great envy.
Podversic's work in the cellar is no less daring and
no less successful. Breaking the confines of tradition
and shunning modern practices like the use of stainless
steel, Damijan pursues natural winemaking, which he learned
from the great Friulian producer Josko Gravner. His Collio
Biancos are both fermented on the skins with natural yeasts;
he never bottles or releases a wine unless it has had
ample time to develop; he even insists on bottling the
Kaplja in December while the moon is waning. Though already
producing excellent wines, this young man holds great
promise for the future.
