Meneghetti Winery
Istrian Winemaking Heritage
Winemaking in Istria reaches back to antiquity, shaped by Mediterranean light, mineral soils and the steady influence of sea and wind. Generations cultivated Malvasia and robust red varieties long before modern classifications emerged. Stone cellars, patient harvests and respect for season defined the rhythm of production. Today, that legacy endures not as nostalgia, but as continuity: a living tradition where origin, restraint and craftsmanship remain the measure of quality.
Our Vineyards
Our Commitment to the Land
Meneghetti svoje vinograde njeguje na pažljivo odabranim položajima zapadne Istre, spajajući vlastite parcele oko imanja s dodatnim vinogradima na sjeveru, posvećenima našoj Malvasia. Zajedno tvore mozaik crvene i bijele zemlje, oblikovan morskim strujanjima, ekspozicijom i umjerenim prinosima. Sorte Malvasia Istriana, Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon i Cabernet Franc zasađene su u skladu s terenom i mikroklimom. Kao istinsko imanje, vinograd i podrum djeluju kao cjelina. Naš portfelj obuhvaća 13 etiketa u ograničenim količinama, vođenih karakterom berbe, a ne formulom. Pod vodstvom Damira Božeka, u bliskoj suradnji s enologom Valterom Filiputtijem, fermentacije se pomno prate, a dozrijevanje odvija s mjerom, kako bi svako vino odražavalo ravnotežu, kontinuitet i dugovječnost.
4 elements that shape our wines
The Adriatic
The proximity of the Adriatic lends a subtle saline freshness and tension to our wines. Sea breezes moderate temperature, extend ripening and preserve natural acidity, shaping clarity, aromatic precision and balance without ever overpowering varietal character.
A Landscape of Beauty and Balance
Surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and open horizons, decisions are made with the understanding that beauty and quality are inseparable. The harmony of place translates into measured elegance and composure in the glass.
Craft as Interpretation
Winemaking at Meneghetti is guided by interpretation rather than intervention. Knowledge supports nature without dominating it. Fermentations, ageing and blending are handled with restraint, allowing personality and vintage character to remain intact.
The Signature Red Soil
The iron-rich red soil of western Istria defines structure, depth and identity. It lends tone, texture and quiet power to our signature wines, imprinting each vintage with a recognisable sense of origin firmly rooted in place.
