Damijan Podversic winery is one of the most important references in the Collio Goriziano and a global point of reference for lovers of natural wines and orange wines. Founded and led by Damijan alongside his wife Elena, the estate occupies a privileged location at the foot of Monte Calvario, just outside Gorizia, surrounded by wooded hills and historic vineyards that reflect the centuries-old wine tradition of this unique area. The estate covers approximately ten hectares, divided into several hillside parcels with south and southwest exposure, ensuring optimal grape ripening thanks to direct sunlight and natural ventilation.

The Collio Goriziano terroir is distinguished by a very particular microclimate, moderated by the proximity of the Adriatic Sea and sheltered by the Julian Prealps. These conditions are ideal for growing healthy, aromatic grapes that develop intense aromas and a distinctive minerality. The soils are predominantly stony and highly draining, composed of ancient marine sediments of marls and sandstones, with low organic matter but rich in mineral elements essential for vine nutrition. This combination of microclimate and soil gives Damijan Podversic wines elegance, structure, and unmistakable personality, perfectly reflecting the character of the region.

The winery’s philosophy is based on maximum naturalness and respect for the integrity of the fruit. Grapes are harvested at full phenolic ripeness and subjected to long macerations, spontaneous fermentations, and minimal use of sulfites. This approach allows the production of complex, deep, and authentic wines that tell the story of Collio and express the biodiversity of the vineyards. Damijan Podversic also follows organic viticulture practices, avoiding synthetic chemicals and carefully managing every stage of cultivation with artisanal attention, from soil management to pruning and hand harvesting.

The estate cultivates native varieties typical of the region, such as Ribolla Gialla, Malvasia Istriana, and Friulano, alongside international varieties like Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, vinified using both tradition and innovation to create wines that are elegant, mineral-driven, and long-lived. Each wine from Damijan Podversic is a true expression of the terroir, capable of conveying aromas of ripe fruit, white flowers, spices, and mineral notes, with a unique balance of freshness, structure, and aromatic complexity.

Damijan Podversic’s project goes beyond wine production: it is a true celebration of the territory and wine culture, with a philosophy that emphasizes authenticity, slow winemaking, and meticulous attention to detail. His wines are appreciated internationally and represent a true excellence of Collio Goriziano, combining history, innovation, and respect for nature. The collaboration with his wife Elena and the extensive experience gained under the guidance of Josko Gravner have allowed Damijan to develop a modern vision deeply rooted in the region’s traditions, making his wines a reference point for anyone seeking authenticity, elegance, and character in the glass.
