First Sparkling wine aged in the sea

Tradition & Heritage

Born in the green hills of Collio

Why is our wine special? Our grapes ripen on high quality soil on the green hills of Goriška Brda in a small private winery with heritage and tradition where warm Mediterranean air and cold Alpine wind mix. They both caress and lash the grapes alongside authentic techniques and recipe which is how it acquires its distinctive flavour.

Small private winery

Hand picked & selected grapes

In our family, we don’t believe in mass production. We do our work with love and passion which reflects on the quality of our wines. The grapes are harvested by hand, and only the best are selected for wine, which is submerged in the clean, blue Adriatic Sea. A year later, the Luxury sparkling wine Mare Santo® is born. We believe people should respect nature and nature will pay us back with its best.

Adriatic treasure

Why 20 meters under sea?

As commonly known, the sea, with its salt water, is extremely healthy and beneficial. And what is good for a man will without a doubt be also good for wine. The first bottles were submerged almost a quarter of a century ago, and since then, we have been continuously working on improvements, flavour, and bottles. Motion of the sea current at 20 meters of depth is keeping the sparkling wine vital and alive. The sea also gives many minerals to the sparkling wine through the cork, which give the wine a unique flavour. The efforts have most certainly paid off because our wine is exceptionally outstanding.

The taste

Which grape varieties do they use?

Mare Santo Cuvée Prestige is a mixture of Rebula and Chardonnay. Rebula is an old grape variety from Goriška Brda, which gives the wine its distinctive flavour, while Chardonnay gives it softness and fullness. Mare Santo Rosé is produced from the best grapes: Pinot Noir. The grapes are harvested manually from Goriška Brda. They are the best that Brda can offer.
