About this Item

2006 Vitovska Selezione
3 (1 x 3) 750ml

'What can I say about the wines I tasted at Kante? Words are pretty superfluous when confronted with this stunning overall level of quality. Edi Kante’s wines are at once intensely varietal yet also imbued with the deepest sense of the Carso, the rocky, hillside stretch of mountains where these vineyards lie. Think of Kante as Italy’s Coche-Dury.' - Antonio Galloni - Wine Advocate.

Critics Ratings

‘The 2006 Vitovska Selezione impresses for its substantial core of fruit and body. White stone fruit, flowers, and crushed rocks wrap around the palate in this structured, powerful Vitovska. Layers of fruit continue to build in the glass as the wine shows off its expansive, generous personality. This is another dazzling, hugely expressive wine from Edi Kante with more than enough freshness to drink well for many years. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2021.’ – Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, 95/100 (Dec 2011)

‘Very slightly honeyed, some linden leaf, lime and spice and still that rocky/mineral quality derived indirectly from the site (terra rossa over very hard limestone in Carso). Long and intense. Both lightly honeyed and steely on the palate. Impressive.’ – Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Jun 2016)
