Wine production and viticulture are a centuries-old tradition and culture on our peninsula. Until now, Eastern Istria has not been recognized as a wine and gastronomy destination, which justified our vision to change that story and put the Labin area on the wine map of Istria. Our family, the Fuhtars, embarked on our serious wine journey in Nedešćina in 2015 when Piero took over the production from his father, Valter. Over the course of several years, we have expanded our vineyards, increased production, and diversified our range. In 2017, we introduced our first labels to the market. We started with 1,000 vines, and currently, we cultivate over 2 hectares of our own vineyards with continuous growth.

Our vineyards are located at an altitude of approximately 300 meters in Nedešćina, Šumber, and Kršan, on shallow bauxite soils, which impart a unique characteristic to our wines. The microclimate in our vineyards is specific because it simultaneously experiences the influence of...

In forests) The vineyard is located in the village of Sveti Petar u Šumi, in the heart of the Istrian peninsula.

Capo vineyards are located near to the wine cellar in a small village Fernetići, Brtonigla in western Istria. More than 15 years old vineyards in the deep red soil give grapes of exceptional quality and maturity. The vineyards are situated on gentle slopes facing the Adriatic Sea. The climate is Mediterranean and very favorable for growing high quality grapes.

The traditional vineyard processing is applied and the cultivation form is one-Guyot. This provides a complete balance between quantity and quality of grapes. The yields per vine are max. 2 kg. The vine growers who cultivate vineyards, respect the strict technical requirements, related to the position (location) and the age of each vineyard. Such specific practice involves defoliation and yield control by earlier cluster thinning when it is needed.

Meneghetti is the synonym for our philosophy – a quality of life in harmony with the nature that surrounds and protects it. This land, so diverse in its beauty and so beautiful in its diversity, is best represented by its most important products – wine and olive oil – in their natural surroundings. The potential of this special seaside terroir bathed in the scent of Mediterranean herbs is so high that it would be a sin to limit it exclusively to tradition. Meneghetti see tradition as a link between the knowledge of different generations, some of which have already given their share and some of which have yet to do so. In order to give true meaning to tradition, it must be cherished, developed, and enriched with modern ideas. That is why our wine has an extraordinary personality, and that is why we want to produce wines that reflect the character of Istria while simultaneously crossing its borders.

The family farm Pilato is located on the west coast of the Istrian peninsula, in the village Lašići near Poreč. The story begins with the great grandfather, Ivan Pilato, who plants the first vineyards. In the beginning, the family also deals with farming and animal husbandry, as does the majority of the families in Istria at the time. In the ‘60s, however, son Končeto turns to winemaking and expands his vineyards as well as the production of wine. In 1994, his son Eliđo starts gradually investing in knowledge, technology and machinery – bottles the first wine, and subsequently turns it to serious manufacturing of quality wine, which later finds its place on the domestic as well as foreign market. The indigenous Istrian varieties – Malvasia and Terrano, along with international varieties such as Chardonnay, white Pinot, white Sauvignon, white Muscat, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, are grown on more than 20 ha of vineyards.

Tradition of wine making has been our legacy throughout generations. Wine is produced in the family for centuries, mostly for personal use.

The youngest daughter Ana decided to attend the school of agriculture and to study viticulture at the College in Poreč, which led us to the decision to continue the production of wines with high quality in mind.

We planted the vineyard according to the highest standards, invested in the purchase of modern winery equipment, and equipped the cellar with quality wooden barrels and stainless steel tanks that control the temperature of fermentation and wine storage.

The love that ties us with wine and vineyards, as well as our dedication to work has yielded excellent results in the first produced quantities that we offered to the market. Those results were followed by praise and acknowledgements.

The story of winegrowing in the Markežić family dates back as far as 1891 when the first cornerstone was laid with the Momjan Muscat.

Since then up to the present day hardworking and patient hands have been weaving this incredible wine story inspired by the desire to distinguish oneself by being genuine and unique. We managed to shape our own recognizable style through the brand KABOLA.

We welcome you warmly to the Kabola Winery to taste our wines and to enjoy them at your choice combined with Istrian delicacies (Istrian ham, extra-virgin olive oil). We shall do our best to meet your wishes in the best possible way. Please make sure to reserve your spot on time. For more informations contact us on info@kabola.hr

Grape-growing and winemaking have long been the economic mainstay of generations of families in Istria. Traditionally passed down from father to son, vineyards were cultivated and worked by hand, often with little or no mechanisation, well into the mid-twentieth century.

Winery excellence, innovation and the production of award-winning, distinctive wines is brought to fruition in the family’s new state-of- the-art wine cellar. Here, five metres underground, in stainless steel fermenting tanks and oak barrels, the iconic Istrian varietals are crafted and matured.
