- Terrano is believed to be the ancient variety known as Pucinum, as described by Pliny the Elder in his writings. The name “Terrano” is thought to reference the wine’s very dark color, which is reminiscent of tar (with “tar” being “ter” in German).
- This grape variety is deeply rooted in the Carso area of Friuli Venezia Giulia, where it has been cultivated for centuries.
- Terrano is celebrated for its unique characteristics and historical significance, making it an integral part of the region’s viticultural heritage.
A well-crafted Terrano wine boasts a striking purple-ruby hue and is distinguished by its expressive bouquet of violet, blackberry, and black currant aromas. On the palate, it delivers bold flavors that mirror its aromatic profile, accompanied by almost searing acidity and pronounced minerality. This vibrant and robust wine is an excellent companion to food, enhancing the dining experience with its lively and complex character.
