One of the three wine-growing regions in Slovenia along the border with Croatia, named after the Danube tributary Savje (Sava). It is located in the south of the country and borders the Podravje wine-growing region to the north. The third wine-growing region is Primorska, which lies in the west of the country on the border with Italy and on the Adriatic coast.

Posavje is divided into the three wine-growing regions of Bela Krajina (White Carniola) with 608 hectares, Bizeljsko Sremič with 1,264 hectares and the largest by far, Dolenjska (Lower Carniola) with 2,456 hectares. The vineyards therefore cover a total of 4,328 hectares. White wines are produced here for the most part.

For my many years of work as an editor with a wine and culinary focus, I always like to inform myself about special questions at Wine lexicon. Spontaneous reading and following links often leads to exciting discoveries in the wide world of wine.
