{"product_id":"rodica-refosk-2024","title":"Rodica, Refosk, 2024","description":"If you've never had Refošk (the Slovenian name for Refosco), this is a great place to start: a dry red from an organic family estate on limestone terraces just 5 km from the Adriatic. The Rodica vineyards climb the south-facing hills around Truške and Marezige in Slovenian Istria at 250–350 meters. The soil is mostly limestone, the vines have to fight for water, and constant breezes and big day-night temperature swings come off the Gulf of Trieste. Marinko Rodica was a car mechanic until 1998, when he became a winemaker. By 2008 the family had sixty thousand vines and organic certification. Today they farm 15 hectares, mostly Malvasia and Refošk, with grass in every second row and only natural fertilizer. This is honest, grower-made wine from a corner of Europe most drinkers haven't explored yet, and that's exactly why it's worth a try.","brand":"Vinum USA, Inc.
