Discover one of Slovenia’s most celebrated white wines with the Movia ‘Sivi’ Pinot Grigio, an exceptional expression from the renowned Goriška Brda, often referred to as the “Tuscany of Slovenia.” This region, bordering Italy’s Friuli-Venezia Giulia, is globally recognised for producing elegant, mineral-driven wines thanks to its unique marl and sandstone soils (known locally as ponca) and ideal microclimate.

Crafted by visionary winemaker Aleš Kristančič, Movia has played a key role in putting Slovenian wine on the global stage. The estate follows organic and biodynamic principles, avoiding herbicides, pesticides, and synthetic interventions—allowing the terroir of Brda to shine through in every bottle.

This Pinot Grigio (known locally as Sivi Pinot) is fermented in stainless steel before resting for six months on lees in a combination of barrels and tanks. This ageing process enhances texture, complexity, and depth while preserving freshness.

In the glass, it presents a golden yellow colour with a subtle copper hue—a hallmark of premium Pinot Grigio styles. The bouquet is intensely aromatic, offering layers of orange peel, peach compote, yellow plum, and mango, complemented by notes of vanilla, butter, nutmeg, oregano, and delicate floral tones.

On the palate, it is dry, full-bodied, and silky, with vibrant acidity and a distinct mineral backbone. Flavours of quince, citrus zest, and Mediterranean herbs unfold into a long, slightly spicy finish—delivering both elegance and power.

🍽 Food Pairing

Ideal with refined seafood dishes such as crab, lobster, and grilled prawns, this Slovenian Pinot Grigio also pairs beautifully with Asian cuisine, aromatic herbs, and rich appetisers like cured meats or lard on toasted bread.
