2013 Coronica Gran Teran Istria Croatia

Teran had the potential to be incredibly tart with harsh acidity. Moreno has tamed this grape with a barrique treatment and found an equally incredible balance of fruit, spice, acid and texture. Often staining the glass with an ominous inky color, the body is counter intuitively delicate and refined with surprisingly low alcohol. Best served after decanting, locals pair with gamey foul, smoked meat, and spicy lamb. This is one of the most captivating Terans produced in Istria and paves the way for how this grape can age and evolve.
