Producer Information
Josef Simcic started to make wine here in 1860. Five generations later, Marjan Simcic carries on the tradition. His 18 hectares of vineyards straddle the border between Italy and Slovenia. His wines are the result of the hills’ many microclimates and calcareous soil, known as Opoka, rich with nurturing minerals.The Collio region, and Goriška Brda both refer to the Gorizia Hills area that straddles the North-Easterly Friuli-Venezia-Giulia region in Italy into neighbouring Slovenia. With less than 4000 hectares under vine in total, the zone is lesser known, yet its capacity for high quality wines measures up to the most prolific in the world. The viticultural practices here are exceptional, with a lot of producers investing in cutting-edge cellar technology. The wines speak of the people and territory.We are here to meet Marjan and Valerija Simčič, a historic local producer with 18 hectares of vines. His winery sits 200 metres over the Slovenia border in the village of Ceglo, while his vineyards have been planted firmly in both countries for decades- for many wineries in the area this was not an easy feat.
