Slobodne Vinarstvo

The name says everything: Slobodne Vinarstvo means 'free winemaking,' and for sisters Agnes Lovecka and Katarina Kuropkova, the freedom to farm and vinify as they choose was hard-won across generations.

The family's roots in Zemianske Sady, a village an hour south of Bratislava in the Danubian Lowlands, stretch back to the early 20th century when great-great uncle Maximilian grew grapes alongside wheat, corn, and tobacco. The land was seized during communist rule -- both brothers who farmed it had participated in the Slovak national uprising against Nazi forces, and one died in the conflict. The ownership papers survived hidden behind a wall under a staircase for decades, until 1989.
