Winegrower from Momjan - The Istrian soil, particularly in North-Western Istria, was always favorable for the cultivation of grapevine. Along with olives in Southern Istria, grapevine is still the dominant agricultural crop. Momjan is a village in which the winegrowing tradition and contemporary gastronomic and oenological offer meet. In order to understand the significance of viticulture and viniculture for that small Istrian village, it is important to know that the patron saint of Momjan is St Martin, and that this region is characterized by the Momjan Muscat, an autochthonous variety unique in the world.
