Benvenuti Winery is nestled in the Istrian village of Kaldir, near Motovun, where winemaking is not just a craft but a way of life. For generations, the Benvenuti family has cultivated vines on steep hillsides between 250 and 400 meters above sea level, preserving the authenticity of native varieties such as Istrian Malvazija, Teran, and Muscat. Their philosophy is rooted in respect for the terroir and natural conditions, especially the renowned San Salvatore site, where the unique combination of soil and microclimate creates wines of remarkable freshness, minerality, and character.
By blending tradition with modern methods, they craft wines that faithfully reflect the essence of Motovun’s hillsides. The story began in 1946, when Petar Benvenuti planted the first family vineyards. Today, under the guidance of Livio, Albert, and Nikola Benvenuti, the winery continues to nurture this legacy, producing wines recognized and awarded across the globe. From the refreshing Malvazija and powerful Teran to prestigious labels such as Anno Domini and Santa Elisabetta, every Benvenuti wine carries the hallmark of passion, dedication, and Istrian authenticity.
