Istira, dubbed the Tuscany of Croatia, boasts a winemaking tradition that dates back over 2,000 years to the Roman Empire. The region’s distinctive terroir is shaped by its diverse geology, featuring fertile red soil (terra rossa) rich in iron oxide and white limestone, which provide ideal conditions for viticulture.
🍇
Istria is renowned for its indigenous grape varietals, particularly Malvasia Istriana (white) and Teran (red). Malvasia Istriana produces aromatic, fresh, and mineral-rich wines, perfect for pairing with local seafood and truffle dishes. Teran, on the other hand, offers robust and earthy red wines with vibrant acidity and dark berry flavors.
The combination of ancient winemaking heritage, unique geological conditions, and distinctive grape varietals makes Istrian wine a true testament to the region’s rich cultural and natural landscape, offering an unforgettable experience for wine enthusiasts.
