The estate of Izidor and Dominik Sosoli~ is named after the winegrowing site Sturen{~e, a small hill in the very center of Brda. The Sosoli~ farm has stood on this location for centuries; in the last few decade it has been expanded and rebuilt and now includes a large, modern wine cellar.
Izidor and Dominik Sosoli~ cultivate three hectares (7.4 acres) of vineyards, half of them planted with Chardonnay and the rest with Beli Pinot, Tokaj, and Sauvignon. They produce 250 hectoliters (6605 gallons) of wine annually; two hundred hectoliters (5284 gallons) is Bri{ko Belo, a blend of Rebula and Tokaj categorized as table wine and mostly sold open.
The Sturen{~e winery bottles fifty hectoliters (1321 gallons) of high-quality wines annually. As a rule, these are dry, moderately aromatic, and relatively heavy. Chardonnay and Beli Pinot are their consistently best.
Notable vintages from Sturen{~e are 1993 and 1994.
