Carso field-blend white from Zidarich. The Prulke blend co-ferments Vitovska, Malvasia Istriana and Sauvignon together on skins.

What it pairs with

With cheese

Formadi frant Our pick Formadi frant is soft and savoury, with cream in the paste and a piquancy that varies from one cheese to the next. A white fermented on its skins for weeks or months has the tannic grip and acidity to stand up to it.

History

Carso field-blend white from Zidarich. Prulke takes the cellar's three white varieties (Vitovska, Malvasia Istriana, Sauvignon) and co-ferments them on skins.
