Description
The Penina Furmint Brut Nature 2023 by Vino Gross impressively demonstrates how precise and terroir-driven sparkling wine made from the Furmint grape variety can be. The steep slopes of Slovenian Štajerska lend the wine exceptional freshness, minerality, and tension. Vino Gross is one of the most important producers in the region and stands for wines that uncompromisingly highlight origin and character.
The style is incredibly clear and focused. By foregoing dosage, the wine's natural freshness is fully preserved, giving it an impressive straightforwardness. Instead of fruit opulence or creamy richness, Penina emphasizes precision, chalky minerality, and subtle elegance. It is precisely this combination of tension, freshness, and puristic expression that makes it particularly characterful.
The long aging on the lees also provides depth and a fine, elegant perlage, without masking the vibrancy of the Furmint. This results in an exceptionally distinctive sparkling wine with great energy, mineral clarity, and a long, salty-fresh finish that impressively reflects the modern signature of Vino Gross.
