It was the Romans who brought the vine to the Bizeljsko wine region.
Bizeljsko, at South of Slovenia, is a region of undulating hills on which grow vines at altitudes between 200 to 400 m. It is the land of small caves excavated in quartz sand, used by farmers to store crops. The most important grape varieties are Blaufränkisch, Žametovka, and Welschriesling. Red and white Bizeljčan PTP are the characteristic wines of the region. Both wines are blends.
