Terrano belongs to the family of Refosco d'Istria. Terrano is a typical grape of the Carso region, which has always produced this vine variety with “wild†sensorial characteristics, but with a unique character!This wine has beneficial effects as a medicine for the iron contribution given the body as well as on the blood, in particular cases (childbirth delivery etc.) or on some pathologies such as anaemia etc. Well known for these effects since the Romans times with the name of Pucinum.
Grape: 100% Terrano
Harvesting and Vinification:
After 9 months in stainless steel containers (without malolactic fermentation), the wine remains other 3 months in bottles before its sale starts.

Taste: Rather acid (for the presence of the malic acid in Terrano young) a bit metallic, exuberant and lively.
Pairing: The limited tannins and the moderate alcohol content, even if with a steady acidity, make of Terrano a wine that has an average ideal structure, appropriate for delicatessen and salted meat. When young, this wine is a perfect accompaniment to fat fishes.
