Kozlović

Kozlović is one of the best known wineries of Istria. The family has been producing wines since 1904, and enjoys a well-earned reputation for quality. The family is also privileged to own the Santa Lucia cru, an historic hill-top site with ideal terroir and plenty of sunshine. The old vines here are used to produce their most important wines, all with the single vineyard designation, including the “Super-Istrian” Santa Lucia Noir. The hilltop Santa Lucia vineyard is probably the most famous cru in all of Istria ... a region known for its wonderful vineyard sites. The combination of soils, sunshine and gentle breezes allow the highest quality grapes to achieve peak ripeness. In the hands of a master like Gianfranco Kozlović, these grapes can be crafted into some of Croatia’s – and the world’s – most compelling wines. To wit: Kozlović’s Santa Lucia Malvazija was namds world’s best Malvasia in 2022.
