We’re still under the spell of the past few days ✨🍷
What a journey 𝗔𝗿𝘀 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘀 has been – and what a finale at our wineries Ferdinand & Gradis'ciutta !

Together we celebrated young talents and established artists who turned the vineyards of Collio and Brda into places of art, memory and imagination. From installations made of wine barrels and vine shoots to the luminous poetry of Marco Nereo Rotelli’s So(g)no – every piece carried a story of borders overcome.

As Matjaž said so well:
👉 “With Ars Sine Finibus we challenged ourselves to go much further. This project involves world-class scientists, young artists and established creators across poetry, music and visual arts. I am especially glad that we once again acted as bridge-builders – both across borders and in a cultural sense.”

We couldn’t be prouder of this project, part of GO! 2025 European Capital of Culture, and of everyone who made it possible.

🍇✨ Wine and art – inseparable in Brda. ✨🍇

At Ferdinand and Gradis'ciutta , we feel every day how vineyards and creativity belong together. That is why we proudly support Ars Sinefinibus, the first cross-border contemporary art park between Slovenia and Italy – part of GO!2025 European Capital of Culture.

Yesterday, the international jury evaluated the works of 30 young Slovenian and Italian artists (under 35), who created unique, sustainable installations in our vineyards.

👉 Today, the results will be revealed and the public will experience the unveiling of new works – including 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗼 𝗡𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗼 𝗥𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶’𝘀 “𝗦𝗼(𝗴)𝗻𝗼”, two monumental spheres celebrating poetry, light, music and the grape as symbol of shared culture.

🙏 Our heartfelt thanks go to the jury for their dedication and insight:
Dr. Nemec , Formilli Fendi Perazza, Marsiglione, Cudiccio.

We invite all wine and art lovers to explore Brda and Collio in a new way – through wine, nature, and art without borders.

Every year, we eagerly anticipate our traditional panel tasting with our friends at Gradis'ciutta. This year’s event featured our wines alongside our joint 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀 sparkling line – a true challenge and delight for the palates of our customers and wine experts.
The feedback we get from the HORECA segment is priceless. It gives us a unique opportunity to understand how our products are perceived and what customers desire in the market.
One of the most exciting takeaways: our customers are thrilled with the synergy between Gradis'ciutta and Ferdinand. They appreciate the personal touch and genuine character of our wines. Moreover, our collective effort to promote Brda - as a unified terroir has garnered widespread approval.
Thanks to all who joined us – we can’t wait for next year!

𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐅𝐞𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐝!🍇✨

Many of you have been asking how this year’s vintage is shaping up. The truth is – it’s still too early to say. But here’s what we can already share:

Last week we picked Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir – forming the base for our sparkling wines. However, Pinot Noir will also be the base for a brand-new still wine in our collection (more on this soon, so stay tuned!). 🤩

How do we decide the right moment to harvest?
👉 We monitor sugar and acidity levels,
👉 We taste the grapes directly in the vineyard – every plot is checked individually.

Although we expected a later harvest, rain at the end of July followed by intense August heat accelerated ripening, bringing us to an earlier start than anticipated.

And while the grapes keep us busy, this week also brings plenty of marketing activities alongside harvest. Never a dull moment at Ferdinand!

✨ La prossima settimana inauguriamo Ars Sine Finibus, un progetto artistico nato dalla visione condivisa di Gradis'ciutta e Ferdinand Winery, partner da anni nella creazione dello spumante Sinefinis.

Abbiamo dato vita a un parco artistico permanente, dove arte e vino si fondono in un’esperienza sensoriale e culturale unica, nel cuore di un territorio che unisce e non divide.

🌍 Un luogo simbolico che celebra l’incontro tra Gorizia e Nova Gorica, unite nel 2025 dal titolo di Capitale europea della cultura con il progetto GO!2025.

Per noi, è un nuovo passo di un cammino iniziato con Sinefinis, un sogno che abbatte confini e crea ponti tra persone, storie e territori.

📅 Non vediamo l’ora che arrivi il 5 settembre per svelare tutto il progetto! Nel frattempo, un sentito grazie ai tanti giornalisti che in questi giorni ne hanno parlato e stanno contribuendo a raccontarlo e di cui condividiamo alcuni articoli.

✨ Next week we’ll inaugurate Ars Sine Finibus, an artistic project born from the shared vision of Gradis'ciutta and Ferdinand Winery, long-time partners in the creation of the sparkling wine Sinefinis.

We’ve created a permanent art park, where art and wine come together in a unique sensory and cultural experience, at the heart of a land that unites rather than divides.

🌍 A symbolic place celebrating the connection between Gorizia and Nova Gorica, two cities that in 2025 will share the title of European Capital of Culture with the GO!2025 initiative.

For us, it’s another step in a journey that began years ago with Sinefinis—a dream that overcomes borders and builds bridges between people, stories, and territories.

📅 We can’t wait for September 5 to reveal the entire project! In the meantime, a heartfelt thank you to the many journalists who have shared the story in recent days.

Under the Royal Palms, Brda Shined ✨🍷

From the rolling hills of Slovenia to the golden shores of Palm Beach — what an unforgettable journey! 🌴

It all began in New York, when dear friends & Irena Mernik Knee & James S Knee shared a glass of our Malvazija Época. From that moment, a new chapter started — a chapter that brought us to Florida to share our wines, our story, and a little piece of Brda.

Thanks to the wonderful connection with Massimo Battista and Aversa , Ferdinand wines will now be poured in select gourmet restaurants and clubs across Florida this coming season. A

A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Irena Mernik for her vision, to Massimo and Lexye for opening new doors, and to all the friends who made A Taste of sLOVEnia & Italia such a magical night.

Here’s to friendship, fine wine, and unforgettable evenings. 🥂

We would like to share with you some truly special moments from this past weekend. 💫

On Saturday, we partnered with our friends from Evino to host a wine-paired dinner at Magnet Restavracija in Bistro . The evening was a beautiful journey of flavours, conversations and connection – a celebration of both food and wine. 🍷🍽️

On Sunday, we were honoured to visit a new partner – the iconic Avsenik Begunje, a place where six generations have been shaping the soul of Slovenian cuisine.
Just as the Avsenik family gave us timeless melodies that define Slovenian music, they continue to nurture tradition through culinary excellence. 🎶🇸🇮

We’re proud to walk alongside people who bring passion, heritage and authenticity to everything they do.

Thank you for being part of our story. Here’s to many more chapters to come! 💛

A great day at 2025 🍷 for Jasmina and Matjaž from Ferdinand Winery!

They joined forces 🤝 with our friends from Gardisciutta to showcase the Sinefinis sparkling wine line 🍾 — a cross-border collaboration built on shared values and friendship.

Vinitaly is always an important event for us, as we live in close connection with Italy 🇮🇹 — its culture, cuisine, and of course, its wines 🍇.

This year, we were especially pleased with the quality of our meetings and are happy to share that exciting new collaborations ✨ are already in motion.

More updates coming soon — stay connected!
