Cviček is a Slovenian wine from the Lower Carniola region of Slovenia, composed of various grapes: Modra Frankinja (Blue Franconian), Žametna Črnina and Kraljevina, and occasionally Laški Rizling (Italian Riesling) is also added.
And only this wine in only wine in the world who is mixed with red and white wine. Modra Frankinja gives it its full flavour, Žametovka makes it drinkable and adds to its acidity, while Rdeča Kraljevina as one of white sorts regulates its alcohol level (from 7.5 to maximum 10% alcohol) and provides the wine with an agreeable gentleness. In the Middle Ages the Lower Carniola was a constituent part of the March of Carniola, and its wine was named Marvin (from German Marwein from Markwein), which was also mentioned by Valvasor, a seventeen-century Slovenian historian. With the abolition of old viticultural system, people started to neglect vineyards, vine decay grew larger and larger and concomitantly, wine quality started to drop gradually. Becoming more and more sour, people referred to it as cviček.
