The Poletti tradition, which has been passed down to generations of the Poletti family for over a century, has made an indelible mark on one of the best Istrian wines. Ever since 1842, when the first vineyards were planted in the small place Markovac, not far from Višnjan in the west coast of Istria, the story of wine, which has become one of the authentic Istrian brands for more than a century and a half. Passion and hard work are woven into the very essence of the Poletti family, whose strength is reflected in top quality wines, and the daily refinement and introduction of modern ways of processing and preserving the wines have contributed to the superior quality of Poletti wines. Among the Istrian varieties at the Poletti winery, Malvasia, Teran and Muscat Rose are produced, as well as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. Apart from wine, olive oil is traditionally grown on the Poletti estates, another indispensable element of the Istrian land and tradition. The seven hectares of fertile Terra Rosa, on these pre-autumn days before the grape harvest, begins another rich season, when the Poletti family tirelessly turns the fruits of the earth into golden notes of aromatic wines. In the cellar of the winery, which often performs guided degustation’s, it is possible to experience the true Istrian story of authentic Istrian wine varieties, and if you wish to extend your stay in this magical land, Poletti also offers you the ultimate relaxation in Villa Bellavista Poletti holiday house.
