Cattunar Winery: 4 Terre Malvasia and guided tastings

Closed. Opens on today 12:00.

At Cattunar near Brtonigla, you can compare Malvasias from four soils. Tastings include a guided cellar tour and require a reservation.

Four soils and four separately vinified Malvasias

Grey soil lies at the Žmergo vineyard site, black at Škrinjari, red at Grum and white at Škarlina. Since 2010, grapes from each site have been vinified separately, allowing a direct comparison of wines made from the same variety in different vineyards. Malvasia 4 Terre Black Soil 2025 was awarded gold with 92 points at World of Malvasia 2026, while Muscat Rose 2022 was awarded gold with 93 points at Vinistra 2026.
