The exact blend changes every year but is always Frankovka (Blaufränkisch) based. Alibernet is a cross between Cabernet Sauvignon and Alicante bouchet that is common in Slovakia but nowhere else. Native yeast fermented big old wood, no fining or filtration. This wine of playful appearance is in fact quite bookish. The aromas are deep, dank and woodsy. The texture is plush, the minerality mouthwatering and while a rich glass of wine it has a frenetic energy. Allowed air, it shows its savory, rooty flair gaining complexity and intrigue. Vlado makes the wine making choices for Poezia, It's sibling Proza a white, the choices are Martin's both think the other makes the better choices in typical vintages.
