Teran Dionigi featured in Boje zemlje’s Enoteka

Istrian sommelier and columnist Emil Perdec featured our Teran Dionigi in the Enoteka column of Boje zemlje — a wine from the Šubijent hill, where some vines date back to 1963.

The grapes are hand-picked in mid-October at low yields. After maceration, the wine ages for two years in Slavonian and French oak barriques and then another year in bottle. Dionigi is bottled in large formats — magnum and double magnum.

Perdec describes it as dry, full-bodied and mineral, with soft tannins and a long finish, and with ageing potential of up to twenty years.
