  • Our Portfolio
    2020 About Us Circo Vino (pronounced Chir-co Vee-no) is loosely translated as “Wine Circus” in Italian. Circo Vino serves as a national importer for the United States and is licensed to sell to wholesalers nationwide. Circo Vino acts as the main sales, marketing, and public relations entity for its winery partners. Circo Vino does not have a centralized office or warehouse, preferring to utilize a virtual office and current technology to centralize company communication. Circo Vino has significant relationships with shipping agencies and warehouses nationally and internationally that assist us in our flexible and fresh shipping design. Circo Vino began in 2009 with a dedication to find flexible avenues to encourage direct imports of artisanal wines from unique terroirs to the USA marketplace. We believe that sublime wine is a result of the collaborative relationship between mother nature, the grower and the consumer. The ultimate connection we seek to create is between the grower and those who appreciate his or her wines. With this in mind, we specialize in Direct Import Facilitation, focusing on emerging state markets that need assistance in directly importing wine as well as helping established markets simplify their Direct Import structure. We seek wines that demonstrate a sense of place and a singularity of style - wines that make us say “Yes! This is it!” We gravitate toward wines that are farmed in low-impact ways and handled gently, and we prefer to work with winery partners who grow wines with both a respect for tradition and a sustainable vision for the future. We love working with partners that infuse humor and creativity into their work and are interested in reaching the dinner tables of American wine drinkers as well as retail shelves and restaurant wine lists.

    WINE BOOK United States Portfolio January, 2020 Who We Are Blue Ice is a purveyor of wines from the Balkan region with a focus on Croatian wineries. Our portfolio of wines represents small, family owned businesses, many of which are multigenerational. Rich soils, varying climates, and the extraordinary talents of dedicated artisans produce wines that are tempting and complex. Croatian Wines All our Croatian wines are 100% Croatian and each winery makes its wine from grapes grown and cultivated on their specific vineyard, whether they are the indigenous Plavac Mali, or the global Chardonnay. Our producers combine artisan growing techniques with the latest production equipment and methods, giving each wine old-world character with modern quality standards. Whether it’s one of Croatia’s 64 indigenous grape varieties, or something a bit more familiar, our multi-generational wineries all feature unique and compelling offerings. Italian Wines Our Italian wines are sourced from the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, one of the 20 regions of Italy and one of five autonomous regions. The capital is Trieste. Friuli- Venezia Giulia is Italy’s north-easternmost region and borders Austria to the north, Slovenia to the east, and the Adriatic Sea and Croatia, more specifically Istria, to the south. Its cheeses, hams, and wines are exported not only within Europe but have become known worldwide for their quality. These world renown high-quality wines are what we are bringing to you for your enjoyment. Bosnian Wines With great pride, we present highest quality wines produced in the rocky vineyards of sun washed Herzegovina (Her-tsuh-GOH-vee-nuh), where limestone, minerals, herbs and the Mediterranean sun are infused into every drop.

MARKET APPROACH AND SELECTION PUKLAVEC FAMILY WINES The Puklavec family’s love for wine can be tracked back to 1934 in Slovenia. Martin Puklavec had a vision: to make the finest wines together. This philosophy continues to resonate through the family’s wine making today. Puklavec Family Wines are driven by the core values of passion, hard work and dedication to quality. Vladimir Puklavec and his two daughters, Tatjana and Kristina all work together, alongside the other winegrowers, with the determination to continue the pursuit of their (grand)father’s vision. Puklavec Family Wines are produced in the heart of Ljutomer-Ormož, a wine area in the Podravje region, in the North-Eastern part of Slovenia. This area provides the perfect microclimate conditions for grape growing. The result are elegant wines, crafted with an uncompromising and passionate attention to detail, beautifully balanced and as expressive as the landscape of our vineyards. Vladimir Puklavec 1. PUKLAVEC FAMILY WINES 1.1 History of Puklavec Family Wines Care and quality in a communist period Puklavec Family Wines is a family owned winery. The family Puklavec’s history in the area goes back to 1934, when Martin Puklavec became General Manager of the Jeruzalem-Ormož winegrowers’ cooperative of the time.

Significant increases were also registered in France (+ 8.6 percent), Romania (+32 percent), Greece (+17.5 percent), Croatia (+10 percent), Hungary (+9 percent), and Austria (+5 percent). Only Germany's production is estimated to decrease by 6 percent from the previous year as a result of unfavorable weather conditions during flowering. The EU-28 is expected to remain the world’s leading wine exporter and importer in 2013, exporting 18.8 Mhl valued at $10.9 billion, while importing 13.4 Mhl valued at $3 billion. The United States is expected to remain the leading export market for the EU-28 as a whole. This report presents the outlook for wine production, trade, consumption, and stocks for the EU-28.

  • Trends in Climate Parameters Affecting Winegrape Ripening in Northeastern Slovenia
    Vol. 58: 257–266, 2014 CLIMATE RESEARCH Published January 7 doi: 10.3354/cr01197 Clim Res Trends in climate parameters affecting winegrape ripening in northeastern Slovenia Stanko Vršiˇc1,*, Vilma Šuštar1, Borut Pulko1, Tadeja Kraner Šumenjak1,2 1Faculty of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Pivola 10, 2311 Hoˇce, Slovenia 2Institute of Mathematics, Physics and Mechanics, Jadranska 19, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia ABSTRACT: This study examined the structure and trends in climate parameters that were impor- tant for grapevine growing between 1950 and 2009 in the wine-growing region of Styria in NE Slovenia. The study also included the dynamics of grape ripening and the timing of harvest for 4 varieties grown in the region between 1980 and 2009. Temperature and precipitation characteris- tics from 3 stations (Celje, Jeruzalem, and Maribor) in the region were organized into annual and growing-season periods and were used to assess the effects on the different varieties and on wine quality. Based on the data associated with the content of soluble solids, total acidity, and the rec- ommended date of harvest for a particular year, trends towards earlier maturity of 12−25 d were observed. In general, temperature changes were more significant after 1980 than between 1950 and 1979. The mean annual and seasonal temperatures (1980−2009) increased significantly, by 0.4 to 0.6°C per decade. The average growing-season warming rates were driven particularly by changes in maximum temperatures, with significant increases in the number of days with Tmax > 30°C. Growing-season warming has also resulted in changes in heat accumulation indices, with significant increases since 1980.
