Producer Information
Aleks Simčič, of the Edi Simčič estate in Slovenia, is considered by many to be one of the finest winemakers in Eastern Europe. Located just meters over the Italian border and next door to Colli Orientali in Friuli, Simčič lives in Goriška Brda, a lush, subalpine zone that actually belonged to Italy until the end of World War II. It also happens to be one of the region’s best areas, perhaps THE best area, to grow white varietals. Long-aging, intense, and sophisticated, his single estate wines now rival the best of France. In addition, Aleks also works with a handful of growers at the local co-op to make a series of affordables. When we challenged him, “can you make a fantastic, expressive, mineral-driven white for under $15 retail?” his answer was Giocato, a terrific wine that raises the bar on inexpensive Pinot Grigio. Low yields lend it great viscosity, and the palate offers a perfect balance of tropical fruit and acidity. As with the high-end wines of Edi Simčič, everything Aleks touches, it would seem, turns to gold.
