The Story of Passion, Tradition, and Innovation of the Degrassi Winery

The Degrassi brand was founded in the 1980s as a house wine production for a restaurant in Savudrija, with father and son involved in the entire process.

The first bottle with the Degrassi label was produced in 1996, during the Istrian wine revolution, and Moreno quickly became a key representative of the new wave of Istrian winemakers. With his investigative spirit and curiosity, Moreno constantly sought new grape varieties, barrels, and additional space, leading to the continuous expansion of the cellar. Degrassi wines quickly became well-known throughout Croatia, and the brand expanded beyond Istria through appearances at international fairs and competitions.

A winemaker’s philosophy is a deeply personal matter that influences many.

Dedication to details and a commitment to harmony best describe Moreno, who says, “I have always loved exploring and experimenting, and I find it inspiring to watch others discover my wines and be thrilled by them…”
