Pilato
Pilato produces white wines from Istria and Kvarner, a Croatian region shaped by Mediterranean and continental influences. The winery focuses on Malvazija Istarska, a local variety that thrives in the region's limestone soils and yields wines of mineral precision and aromatic complexity. Pilato's Malvazija Sur Lie—aged on its lees to deepen texture and flavor—represents the winery's commitment to the grape's potential. A second expression, Malvazija Istarska, offers a complementary perspective on the variety. Decanter has rated both wines. The region's cool breezes and temperate climate allow Malvazija Istarska to develop crisp acidity and distinctive character, qualities evident across Pilato's range.
