Clai
About
Giorgio Clai produces profound natural wines from Malvazija Istarska and Refošk grapes in a tiny cellar in the Istrian village of Krasica. His Malvazija, left on skins for extended maceration, becomes a copper-hued wine of extraordinary complexity and depth. Zero additions, zero filtration — just pure Istrian terroir captured in a bottle.
Why It's a Hidden Gem
Croatia's most uncompromising natural winemaker, producing orange Malvazija of staggering depth in a village cellar on the Italian border.
