Movia's Rebula, a native variety renowned for its mineral essence, mirrors the pride of Brda's wine region, cultivated since the 13th century. Movia's Rebula grapes undergo late harvesting, swiftly transitioning into fermentation with native yeasts within two hours. Aged for at least two years in barrique barrels, it develops strength and harmony, bottled unfiltered and without added sulfites. The name Ribolla, derived from "ribollire" or "to boil" in Italian, pays homage to the Bora wind's chilling effect on cellars, halting fermentation only to resume in spring. With its inviting golden hue and rich aroma of gooseberries, blackcurrants, and subtle oak, Movia's Rebula embodies Brda's heritage.
