{"title":"Nikolas Juretic","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"26\" data-end=\"373\"\u003eNikolas Juretic makes artisan wines in Cormons, in the Collio area of Friuli, close to the Slovenian border. His work is rooted in a small family vineyard history: his grandfather farmed a mixed piece of land with vegetables, animals, fruit trees and vines, following a way of life that Nikolas now sees as close to biodynamics and permaculture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"375\" data-end=\"740\"\u003eBefore making his own wines, Nikolas studied art, worked in Australia, and later travelled with Simonit \u0026amp; Sirch, teaching careful pruning for longer-living vines. This experience shaped his respect for plants and soil. Today he farms old family vineyards on Ponka soils, mainly with local white grapes such as Tocai Friulano, Malvasia Istriana and Ribolla Gialla.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"742\" data-end=\"1090\"\u003eIn the cellar, he works by taste rather than numbers. Maceration, whole bunches and ageing are adjusted to each vineyard and vintage. His wines are not made to be extreme; they search for balance between ripe fruit, freshness and the character of the place. Nikolas also paints his own labels, bringing his early love of art back into the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"nikolas-juretic-belo","title":"Belo","description":"\u003cp\u003eBelo is a white blend from Collio, made with Friulano, Ribolla Gialla, Malvasia and Pinot Blanc.

Fermentation is spontaneous, and the wine ages in concrete and large oak barrels, without clarification or filtration.

This gives Waldo more texture than a classic white wine, with ripe fruit, candied citrus notes, a light tannic grip and a clear mineral line. A small part of the grapes was affected by noble rot, adding a special touch of richness.
