#17 - 2016 Ribolla, Gravner with Mateja Gravner

Josko Gravner was once known as one of Italy’s greatest producers of white wine. Then, at the end of the 1990s, he embarked on a radical new journey, experimenting with skin-contact techniques inspired by Georgia and becoming a leading figure in the orange wine movement.

In this episode we speak with Mateja Gravner about the specifics of Qvevri fermentation, the challenges of bringing Josko’s first orange wines to market, and how top grafting is implemented in the vineyard.
