After six generations of the same Bučinel family managing the Dobuje wine estate, we now present to you from this Slovenian property neighboring Italy the red wine Dobuje Črno 2018. A wine with a carefully considered aging in oak, made from merlot and cabernet sauvignon grapes.

The Slovenian vineyards are located in the heart of the European wine-growing region. Wine production in Slovenia is becoming an art in this country, positioning itself excellently in the international market and boasting a vast winemaking tradition.

From there, we present to you the red wine Dobuje Črno 2018, made from merlot and cabernet sauvignon varieties, showcasing a distinctly Bordeaux style. A complex, elegant, and velvety wine, with a carefully planned aging process for half of the wine, spending 6 months in 1000-liter oak barrels.

This red wine we have selected for you comes from Z.G.P. Brda, part of the famous Primorska region, where the terrain configuration (terra rossa), its climate, and the Bora wind make this area a unique place for crafting wines of the highest quality.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it displays a beautiful ripe cherry red color with ruby hues and a high layer.

The nose is intense and elegant, offering aromas of forest fruits in jam (blackberries and cherries) along with floral notes (violet and jasmine), licorice, and balsamic hints; all in perfect harmony over a creamy background.

The palate confirms its elegance, being fleshy, flavorful, and full-bodied. It showcases a noble and mature tannin, very well integrated into the whole. It enjoys a persistent finish, endowed with pleasant spicy notes and bergamot.
