- Turca stands as a rare gem, cultivated exclusively in the verdant vineyards of Veneto and Trentino.
- Its name, intriguingly, doesn’t harken to the distant lands of Turkey but rather stems from a term in the Trentino dialect, evoking notions of resilience and substance, traits reflected in the wines crafted from this grape.
- It is essential to distinguish Veneto and Trentino‘s Turca from the variety bearing a similar name in Puglia, known more for gracing dining tables than wine glasses.

Turca presents itself with a rich, dusky hue, though its tannins, while present, are not overbearing. Its innate acidity imparts a perception of tannicity, lending it a robust character on the palate. Despite this, Turca remains an immensely pleasurable wine, offering a balance of depth and drinkability that invites indulgence.
