The Terrano of the Castelvecchio winery
The Terrano of the Castelvecchio winery is made with 100% Terrano grapes grown in the heart of the DOC Carso, in the province of Gorizia.
THE WINEMAKING
After the harvest, only the selected grapes are brought to the cellar for the traditional red winemaking; however , please note that the malolactic fermentation is not completed. The wine ages in steel for about 9 months and after assembly and bottling, for a further 3 months in the cellar before being placed on the market.
Tasting the wine of the winery
Intense ruby red with violet reflections. The aroma is intense and fresh with pleasant notes of blackberries that are intertwined with hints of blueberry, plums and cherries. Sour and slightly metallic on the palate (this sensation is accentuated by the presence of malic acid), it is a lively and easy to drink wine.
FOOD PAIRINGS
It goes well with cold cuts and with the typical dishes of the Karst area. If drunk young it goes well with oily fish. Must try with eel.

THE WINERY
The winery Castelvecchio is located just above Sagrado, where the Gorizia Karst offers unthinkable corners of nature and tranquility. The view enjoyed from here is truly unique and in particular days it embraces the entire Friuli Venezia Giulia Region from the mountains to the sea. The landscape of the area merges very well with the noble and ancient origins… go to the winery page
