Penina Theodosius

It the time of the Roman Empire the great warrior Theodosius defeated his enemies in the Vipava Valley. For the 1600th anniversary of this battle we dedicated our first sparkling wine from the Vipava 1894 Wine Cellar to the conqueror - Penina Theodosius.

This semi-dry sparkler has a refined aroma that conquers hearts, especially that of women. In the glass, the bubbles playfully rise to form a fresh necklace at the brim.
