Slovenia — wine

Goriska Brda

Slovenia's premier wine sub-region in the Brda hills bordering Collio DOC in Italy — indeed, the same producers sometimes work on both sides of the border. Rebula (Ribolla Gialla), Malvazija, Chardonnay, and Merlot thrive on marl and limestone terraces producing wines of European elegance and complexity.
