The pearl from Karst where the continental breeze mingles with the Mediterranean.
It's the love and respect for their labor that distinguishes Danilo and their family, the same way their father use to. Without this love The Terrano, Malvasia and Vitovska wines would not have achieved the quality levels they boast today. In Prepotto, a small hamlet on the carsican plateau, where rock, land, sea, sun and wind are the ingredients that permit the production of the fine wines, and it is here that we find the Lupinc farm.It is from the vineyards of this calcareous land, exposed to the sun that the D. O.C-Carsa wines are produced, which compete with the wines from other zones only in quality and certainly not in quantity. It is with this awareness that the Lupinc farm was the first (1970) on the Triestine Carso to begin bottling it's own wines. Using modern winemaking technology the product has achieved its winning characteristics.
Lupinc Farm
Where the specialities of the Karst meet the freshness of the Mediterranean.
In the 1970s Lupinc Farm became the first farm in the Trieste Karst area to begin bottling wine.
Today we bottle one red wine and three white wines on our farm.
We produce approximately 15,000 bottles a year. The wine destined for bottling comes from grapes grown on vines that are more than 30 years old. At Lupinc Farm we produce our wines in vineyards within the Karst wine-growing region. Our vineyards face the sea and have red-brown soil (terra rossa) which must be at least 60 cm deep so as to enable deep ploughing. We grow the Teran, Vitovska, Malvasia, Glera and Tokaj varieties on traditional Karst trellises. Trellises are a very old technique for growing vines. They were even used by the ancient Egyptians, who called them karem. The Roman name for them was jugatio compluviata.
