Classification Venezia Giulia IGT
Region Collio
Contains Added Sulfites Yes
Closure Natural Cork
Production Details The distributor’s 2020 record reports three months of skin contact, five years in used barrels and bottling without added sulfur. It lists sugar below 3 g/L and an acidity figure of 0.58 g/L without specifying the analytical basis, so neither observation is promoted to an exact canonical analytical field. The producer’s current wine-level page instead describes Oslavje generally as spending 2–3 months on skins, three years in barrel and 1–2 years in bottle depending on vintage; the differing maturation descriptions remain unresolved.
Tasting Notes Ripe fruit and citrus aromas; sweet-fruited, mineral palate with soft tannins and a long finish.
Food Pairing Fish, light meat, lamb and mutton.
