RAVALICO WINES

STORY BEHIND - RAVALICO WINES

The Ravalico family originates from Piran where they were

engaged in fishing. In the mid 19th century, one member

of the family moved to Nova Vas on the river Mirna and

built a house, starting virtually from scratch. He became a

farmer. Those were difficult years, times of many sacrifices,

people worked “from dark to dark”. However, step-by-step,

the income grew. In 1903, with the grand grandfather

Giovanni, the wine production began. 

The hours, days, years and summers passed by quickly around the tower bell. The patriarchal family, which cultivated the surrounding

fields with its sagacity, became a very united and dynamic

community. The enterprise of the grandfathers turned into

hard work and self-sacrifice of fathers while the sons have

gathered this heritage, got modernised and became the largest

and most influential private producers on the peninsula. In

addition, the application of innovation and modernization in

the field of wine making contributed to obtaining the most

genuine taste and aroma from the precious grapes. Wine and

grappa Ravalico have crossed the national borders, winning

numerous gold medals and awards at major enological fairs.

With renewed symbol on its sign, the Ravalico family remains

recognisable by the authenticity and specific characteristics

of production – a precious gift of the family Ravalico from

the fertile Istrian soil.
