Dejan Kukanja is a pioneer of free-range pig breeding in Karst, but he also left his mark in Karst viticulture. Kmetija Kukanja operates extensively, which means that it does not cultivate large areas of vineyards, but rather focuses on small quantities and quality of products. They do not cultivate their vineyards mechanically, but in a traditional and natural way, with great attention to the preservation of karstic landscape.

They transfer their vineyard philosophy to the wine that they produce without added yeasts or Sulphur. Such natural wines are not based on chemical or mechanical interventions, but on work that begins in vineyards, and on experience acquired throughout the decades.
