Skabarwines
Like many farms in the Karst region, the history of Milos Skabar's estate in Monrupino, near Trieste, is deeply rooted in past generations. As early as the 19th century, Milos' great-great-grandfather had his own vineyards, vegetable gardens and livestock, mainly for subsistence. His father was a part-time farmer, but the real renaissance of the winery began in 2011 when Milos decided to follow his passion for the land. Moving away from conventional practices, he began producing territorial wines, carefully tending the vineyards and passionately raising pigs in the wild.
In 2013, Milos opened a sales point, called "osmiza", following the tradition of the area surrounding Trieste. These spaces are typical of the Karst plateau between Italy and Slovenia, where wines and local products are sold and consumed directly from the cellars of the farmers who produce them. 2018 marked an important milestone with the bottling of the first bottles with the IGT wine classification.
