Zidarich is one of the Carso's top producers and the cellar is an unusual mix of modernity and rusticity. Wines here are naturally processed and made with Vitovska grapes, the Carso's local variety, which yields a bright, stony minerality in the glass. Each hectare produces just 30 hectolitres so enjoy every sip along with the stunning views from the terrace.
