Description
The Penina Furmint Brut Nature 2018 from Vino Gross impressively demonstrates how precise and terroir-driven sparkling wine made from the Furmint grape can be. The steep vineyards of Slovenia's Štajerska region lend the wine exceptional freshness, minerality, and tension. Vino Gross is one of the region's leading producers and is known for wines that uncompromisingly focus on origin and character.
The style is incredibly clear and focused. By omitting dosage, the wine's natural freshness is fully preserved, giving it an impressive directness. Rather than fruit opulence or creamy richness, the Penina focuses on precision, chalky minerality, and fine elegance. It is precisely this combination of tension, freshness, and purist expression that makes it particularly distinctive.
The extended lees aging also adds depth and a fine, elegant perlage without masking the liveliness of the Furmint. The result is an exceptionally distinctive sparkling wine with plenty of energy, mineral clarity, and a long, saline, fresh finish that impressively reflects the modern signature of Vino Gross.
