Zaro is a wine and olive oil-making family whose ancestors settled Izola, Slovenia in 1348. They are deeply committed to their home land and the sea. Their traditions and rich heritage are carefully cultivated, yet the winery is constantly evolving with modern approaches, driven by advanced global trends in viticulture and enology. Their organic vineyards and olive groves cover 20 hectares of land on beautiful fertile slopes above Izola, offering breathtaking views of almost the entire coast of Slovenian Istria, the Gulf of Trieste and part of the Italian coast all the way to Grado, whose background is adorned by the majestic peaks of the Slovenian Alps, with Triglav and the Italian Dolomites during sunny days. 

The exceptional location of Zaro’s vineyards on Pivol is prized, for making elegant and distinctive wines. This is a rich and aromatic orange wine that undergoes a 30 day maceration. Notes of bread dough, dried fig, balsamic, dried herbs, and salinity.
