Penina Zelena (charmat metoda)

Penina Zelena is a semi-dry sparkling wine made from the autochthonous grape variety Zelen, indigenous to the Upper Vipava Valley. Its beauty is the typical freshness of the Vipava wines with a gentle Muscat aroma. The sparkling bubbles bring an intoxicating aroma of spices (cinnamon, cloves) and citruses to the festive occasion.

In the mouth it feels pleasantly sparkly with a refreshing flavour.
