Vina Fuhtar

Winemaking and viticulture is a centuries-old tradition and culture on our peninsula

Eastern Istria, unjustified, until now it was not recognized as an eno-gastro destination, and our vision was to change that story and put Labin on the wine list of Istria. Our Fuhtar family begins a serious wine business in Nedešćina in 2015 after Piero takes over production from his father Valter. Through several years, we have been raising new plantations, expanding production and assortment, and in 2017 we are starting with the first labels on the market. We started with 1000 vines, and currently we cultivate a little more than 2 ha own vineyards with continuous growth. Our vineyards are located approximately 300 m above sea level in Nedešćina, Šumber and Kršan on the shallow bauxite red soil that gives our wines "that something" different. The microclimate in our vineyards is specific for that we have an influence at the same time the continental climate from Učka and the Mediterranean climate from the sea, which has a beneficial effect on the development of grapes. In offer we have five regular wine labels (Malvazija Istarska, Teran, Merlot, Rose and Muskat yellow) and we produce a special line of wines aged for a year in the sea, which is what makes us special. The quality of our wines have also been recognized at various wine events, such as Vinistra, which we participated in, have now won a number of gold awards for our wines.
