Divvino's two “Vs” mean “in vino veritas”. Following the premise that the truth is in wine, Divvino believes that wine should not only be the product of an industry, but must be the result of alchemy between man and the nature. Divvino shares this passion for the respect of terroirs and in this way it offers wines from organic, biodynamic and natural winegrowers, as well as from wineries of undisputed reputation in the regions of Burgundy, Champagne, Jura and others.
The Roxanich collections are an experience for all the senses. Discover the grape varieties, savor the aromas, see the multitude of colors and hear it speak to you of distant times and beautiful places.
The Roxanich Winery will present 6 wine labels in the Divvino:
The Roxanich Rovigno 2016, an assemblage of a light and young character with refreshing energy, coming out of the bottle in golden nuances, is arguably the superstar of the entire First Roses range.
Three varietals of Malvasia Istriana, Pinot Blanc, and Chardonnay are macerated and spontaneously fermented to embody the sun, the land, and the soul of Istria in a dry, soft and velvety white with pears flavors, dried fruit stones, a scent of nuts, minerality, and a hint of white pepper.
An elegant rosé for all seasons, the Roxanich Portorose is made out of the indigenous grape variety Borgonja Istriana.
The Roxanich Portorose is an entirely innovative expression of a rosé, giving its best to a distinctive gourmet palate, with an intense bright color illustrating nuances of rosehip, hibiscus and pomegranate. The wine offers intense and structured sips of an elegantly bodied variety of spicy and earthly aromas. One recalls notes of fresh raspberries, cranberries, strawberries with a hint of lavender.
The Roxanich Lara 1/6 2012 is not a wine for conventional minds - it’s a pioneer of long macerated, natural orange wines - made by macerating the grape variety Malvasia Istriana.
The most first, and later the wine, featuring skin contact of up to 6 months in large wooden vats. Following this prolonged maceration, the wine is then reracked in wooden vats for careful ageing, before it reaches an immaculate condition for being bottled in that particular moment.
Our own interpretation of long macerated Malvasia Istriana, named for Mladen’s first daughter, is here to raise awareness for honest and natural winemaking.
Marked by style so characteristic for Istrian wines, the Roxanich Bordo’ 2011 is distinguished by its sublime combination of power and elegance.
The word “Bordo’” stands for Merlot. In Venetian lands, “Bordo’” was mentioned in 1855 for the first time, describing a grape varietal arriving to Venice from the French Bordeaux region.
Bottled without filtration after long ageing in large wooden vats, barrels and giaras, the Roxanich Bordo’ doesn’t show its age, baring it very well. Fresh, featuring a balanced body in the palate with extremely fine and defined tannins, the Roxanich Bordo’ leaves the Merlot lover with a long finish characterized by its outstanding fragrant.
The SuperIstrian is Roxanich’s allegorical approach to the mythical Super Tuscans. Without any constraint, the winemaker Mladen Rožanić permitted himself to demonstrate what Bordelaise varietals in combination with indigenous ones could offer to the distinguished palate of a wine connoisseur.
On the other hand, the SuperIstrian was always meant to be a symbol for the personal and collective achievements of the people of Istria.
The Roxanich SuperIstrian 2013 is an assemblage of the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Borgonja grape varieties. The deep ruby- red SuperIstrian exudes a harmonious, fruity and floral aroma, violets, cherries and blueberries, with a hint of chocolate and black pepper in the finish.
A limited-edition rosé, zéro dosage, gourmet sparkling wine, made from the Borgonja grape varietal by the classical Méthode Champenoise.
There are not many winemakers who still make wine from the Borgonja grape variety, but those making a sparkling variety are an even more extreme rarity. Mladen Rožanić presents this pleasure through his ‘Les Petites Bulles Istriennes’ or ‘Little Istrian Bubbles’. This sparkling wine is made from 100% Borgonja Istriana, grown exclusively in the specific Istrian soil known as ‘Crljenica’ (Terra Rossa), distinctively red and rich in iron. The base wine was produced in 2009, and went to secondary fermentation in 2011 in accordance with the classical Méthode Champenoise. The wine itself undergoes three historical dégorgements: the first after three and a half years on the lees, another one two years later, and the final third dégorgement after almost a full decade. All three dégorgements were performed without additives, providing this wine with the coveted “Brut Nature” or “Zéro Dosage” classification.
