More informations about the variety Terrano
This is a very old grape variety cultivated in particular in the Istria region of Croatia, Slovenia and Italy. It can also be found in the Republic of Macedonia. In France it is almost unknown. It should not be confused with refosco dal peduncolo rosso, it looks somewhat like it, especially since its synonyms are refosco del Carso or refosco d' Istria.
More informations about the wines of Slovenia
Slovenia is a small European country with a Long history of wine production. This is not surprising given its Mediterranean location between the Northern latitudes of 45 and 47 degrees, latitudes shared by Bordeaux, Burgundy and the northern Rhône. The country is also bordered by four of Europe's Oldest wine producing countries: Croatia to the South, Hungary to the east, Austria to the north and Italy to the west. Despite the cultural and political turmoil that has besieged the Balkan states over the past century, Slovenia has maintained its wine industry, which has flourished particularly since the country gained independence from the former Yugoslavia in 1991.
