Increasing the production of grapes from local vine varieties

In the Vipava Valley region, indigenous grape varieties account for 16% of all grape varieties, and in the Vipava Hills for 23%. The most important of these are Zelen and Pinela which account for 7% and 5.8%, respectively, and have the potential to be recognized by the market for originality and specificity. Vine growers should be encouraged to preserve other old indigenous varieties, such as Klarnica, Poljšakica, Pergolin, Čedajc, Ošip, and Glera, before they die out.
