Teran

The vines grow near Buzet on white flysch-clay soils over limestone; other technical information additionally mentions iron-rich karst and terra rossa soils. The grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed and macerated for two to four weeks. Fermentation takes place spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, and malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously in wood. The wine is unfiltered and shows red and dark berries, cherry, plum, iron and Mediterranean herbs. It is light to medium-bodied, very fresh in acidity, mineral and moderately tannic.
