Ivanovic

Ivanović Winery is located in a family house in Aleksandrovac and is one of the pioneers of new wine production in Serbia. However, our history dates back a century. It was founded in 1919 by our great-grandfather Dragoslav I. Ivanović. Since then, we've faced various challenges, but we've never given up our roots.

We have always relied on the local varieties Prokupac and Tamjanika, which still dominate our vineyards.

The current winery was founded by his grandson of the same name, better known as Gaga. Exactly 28 years ago, in 1996, fascinated by his childhood memories and guided by tradition, he revived his grandfather's production. His vision, his love for his homeland and his passion for wine were passed on to us, his children. We are Ivan and Nadežda, the fourth generation of guardians of our family tradition.

Our vineyards

Our vineyards are located in the Župa region, a small, fertile valley at the foot of the Željin and Kopaonik Mountains. The region has always been known for its ideal natural conditions for viticulture. It has a microclimate characterized by the terrain, which receives sunlight from all sides throughout the day, which is very beneficial to the grapes. We own four hectares of vineyards, most of which are located on the southern slopes of the Župa Valley at an altitude of between 260 and 400 meters. The highest point is Varina Hill, which is characterized by a special white limestone soil known as Belobrežina in Župa, which literally means “white hill”. This gives our grapes special characteristics and everything they need to shine in the bottle. During winemaking and vinification, we maintain a natural production style with minimal technological intervention in the cellar. Spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts, without any intervention in the wine other than temperature control. Our wines contain no additives other than sulphates.

Our philosophy

Our philosophy is focused on maintaining the varietal characteristics of grapes, which is why we attach particular importance to their cultivation and treatment in the vineyard. We strive for wines that represent a blend of tradition and modernity, balanced and elegant, yet powerful, robust and aromatic. For us, Ivanović Winery is more than just a winery. It is a story of family, passion and love, an unwavering commitment to tradition. It is a place where time interweaves over generations and where extraordinary stories are created in every bottle.
