Marjan Simčič

As early as 1786, Emperor Joseph II's Classification of Wines in the Princely Country of Gorizia and Gradisca placed our vineyard in the village of Medana within the esteemed first class. This enduring recognition serves as a testament to the exceptional quality of the vineyard's location, guiding the careful selection of the most suitable grape variety for each specific microlocation within the vineyards. In 1860, Jožef Simčič purchased a farm in Medana and began vine growing and winemaking. Since then, the Simčič family has been dedicated to cultivating vines with supreme attention and care. Jožef's son Anton inherited the family business, and later, his sons embraced various roles: Nando managed the store, Pavel took over the inn, and Teodor devoted himself to winemaking. After World War II, the government nationalized part of their land, the inn, and the store. Nando and Pavel emigrated, leaving Teodor and his son Salko to carry on.
