On 11 March, we visited the Malvasia Festival in Portorož. We had the opportunity to taste Malvasia from Slovenian and Croatian Istria, Karst, Vipava Valley and Italy. Among the fresh malvasias, the jury was impressed by the fresh malvasia of the 2023 vintage of Farm Cigoj, which was awarded a large gold medal. Their sweet malvasia of the 2022 vintage also won a large gold medal, while the macerated malvasia of the 2020 vintage was awarded a gold medal. The gold medal in the classic method sparkling wine category went to Pallidia Wine Sanabor.
