Austere, noble reds, pale in colour and quick to turn garnet, with powerful tannins and high acidity, showing aromas of sour cherry, faded rose, tar, white truffle, leather and balsamic notes with age. Outstanding ageing potential. Absolute star of Piedmont with Barolo DOCG and Barbaresco DOCG, also in Roero, Gattinara, Ghemme and Valtellina (Chiavennasca). A late-ripening Italian variety among the world's greatest.
Istrian peninsula on the Adriatic, Croatia's smallest wine region but one of its most renowned. Signature Malvazija Istarska (50-70%): expressive, lively whites with notes of acacia, green apple, citrus, fresh almond and marked saline minerality - a perfect match with seafood. Native Teran in tannic, tangy red (blackberry, blood, earth), a unique profile. Also dense Refošk, round Merlot.
