As a stand-alone wine, however, the Modra Frankinja has exceptional potential for development and visibility, which is to some extent unused. <\/p><p><strong>Therefore, there is a wine festival dedicated to this top Slovenian wine!<\/strong><\/p><p>This annual festival is held in early June in Sevnica and, as the name implies, honors the Modra Frankinja grape.<\/p><p> A few days prior to the event the tasting of Modra Frankinja evaluation will take place and the top three winners of each category: previous year, earlier years, others \u2013 sparkling and rose wines, will be decided by the International Expert Commission. <\/p><p>The announcement of the winners will be withheld until the event where there will be a presentation to each of the category winners and the runners up. Attending the Modra Frankinja festival is also a good opportunity to explore the whole Posavje wine region and visit local tourist attractions such as castles, museums, spas, or simply just enjoy the spectacular scenery.  <\/p><p><strong>The Modra Frankinja objectives are: <\/strong><\/p><p>&#8211;&nbsp;Increasing the extent, distribution and quality of the Blaufrankisch wine production, and increasing the knowledge and quality of the cultivation of the Blaufrankisch wine&nbsp;(Education of growers and promotion of increasing production quality);<\/p><p>&#8211;&nbsp;Increasing the visibility and use of the Blaufrankisch wine in Posavje and beyond the borders of Posavje;<\/p><p>&#8211;&nbsp;Establishment of a sustainable local supply of local catering providers \u2013 to encourage the establishment of a system from the grower to the provider&nbsp;(promoting the use of Blaufrankisch in the local, regional and also national cuisine and catering);&nbsp;<br>&#8211;&nbsp;Increasing the visibility and attendance of the Blaufrankisch Festival by producers and visitors as a reflection of the increased recognition and significance of the Blaufrankisch wine&nbsp;(General promotion and raising awareness of the (especially curing) characteristics of the Blaufrankisch wine at the local, regional and European levels, mainly through the Blaufrankisch Wine Festival).<\/p><p>Source: <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.modra-frankinja.com\/en\/festival-modre-frankinje.html\">Modra Frankinja<\/a><\/strong><\/p><div data-block-name=\"woocommerce\/featured-product\" data-edit-mode=\"false\" data-product-id=\"1038\" class=\"wc-block-featured-product alignnone has-background-dim wp-block-woocommerce-featured-product\" style=\"min-height:500px;\"><div class=\"wc-block-featured-product__wrapper\"><div class=\"background-dim__overlay\" style=\"background-color: #000000\"><\/div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"THE Slovenia Wine: Top 125 Experiences\" class=\"wc-block-featured-product__background-image lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/WINE-BOOK.png\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 946px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 946\/629;object-fit: none;object-position: 50% 50%;\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"THE Slovenia Wine: Top 125 Experiences\" class=\"wc-block-featured-product__background-image\" src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/WINE-BOOK.png\" style=\"object-fit: none;object-position: 50% 50%;\" \/><\/noscript><h2 class=\"wc-block-featured-product__title\">THE Slovenia Wine: Top 125 Experiences<\/h2><div class=\"wc-block-featured-product__description\"><p>Award-winning vintages, eccentric winemakers, charming villages, castle wine tastings, fairy tale vineyard weddings, unforgettable tours and much more.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wc-block-featured-product__price\"><del aria-hidden=\"true\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\">19.90<span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\">&euro;<\/span><\/span><\/del> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Original price was: 19.90&euro;.<\/span><ins aria-hidden=\"true\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\">9.90<span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\">&euro;<\/span><\/span><\/ins><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Current price is: 9.90&euro;.<\/span><\/div><div class=\"wc-block-featured-product__link\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/product\/the-slovenia-wine-top-125-experiences\/\">Shop now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- CONTENT END 1 -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Modra Frankinja is also known as Blaufr\u00e4nkisch is one of the top Slovenian Wines from the \u0160tajerska region, which is a part of the Podravje wine region.
