The Arman family, led by Franc and Oliver, continue today to cultivate the fundamental values of the traditions with the same fervour as their ancestors who began to plant vine as early as 1850. Because in the beauty and the values of the vineyards lay the essence of life, the foundation and the strong basis for the survival of Istrian families.
During the past half century, the grandfather Edoardo Arman diligently and devotedly was planting Malvasia and Teran. With hard work, in which he put unmistakable love and all his life, he perfected the art of making “good” wine. Today, on the basis of this invaluable tradition, the Arman family rises again and again to new heights and to new spheres of excellence.

Just as they learned from their fathers and grandfathers, respecting the centuries-old knowledge that is conveyed from generation to generation in the Arman family, Franc and Oliver carefully choose and pick the best grapes by hand. In this way the wines gain their personality, their distinctive aroma and rich bouquet. These award-winning wines are nurtured, ripened and stored in ideal conditions in the family cellar, a cellar where you will find the synergy of tradition, innovation and excellence.
Thanks to the knowledge they have collected since they were little, Franc and Oliver use the most advanced oenological technology to produce their wines in a completely natural process. Five metres below the ground, in stainless steel barrels, young, fresh wines rich in aroma are produced. The mature, more characterful and complex, the full bodied ones, father and son Arman nurture in large wooden barrels as well as in barrique barrels. These wines surprise with their personality even the most demanding wine connoisseurs.
