Benvenuti Corona Grande is our basic dessert wine that comes from the namesake vineyard. It is a blend of Malvasia Istriana and White Muscat with a smaller percentage of a rare local variety called Ulovina. Corona Grande is a late harvest wine, with grapes additionally dried up to three months after the harvest to concentrate the sugar and balance the acidity at the optimum level. The result is a very sweet wine with a dense texture and a delicious finish.

Wine is thoroughly hard-wired in the genetic code of our family. The vineyards around our home in Kaldir have been here since time immemorial and we tend to them with as much passion as our ancestors. A wine jug dating to the Antiquity that was found in our vineyard and is kept in a museum in Trieste bears witness to this thousand-year continuity and serves as a daily reminder of our mission – to keep the viticulture and the winemaking tradition alive and prosperous. Albert and Nikola and their father Livio Benvenuti have the role of the protectors of our region and our family’s tradition.The winery is part of our family home in Kaldir. There we monitor and devotedly tend to all our wines. We are focused on the traditional ways of aging our wine in older and aromatically neutral oak barrels as well as on the vinification method which best preserves the authenticity and the characteristics of our terroir in our wines.
