Terra Mare
A true dark horse of Istrian winemaking. 100% Teran — an ancient indigenous variety, wild fermented and aged five years in French oak barriques.
Tasting Notes
Undeniably Teran — fresh, fruity, lightly tannic, and highly drinkable.
Appearance
Dense and ruby red at first glance, with only a faint purple reflection hinting at the unique personality within the glass.
Nose
First nose: a whisper of coal smoke followed by savory notes of blood sausage infused with fennel. Second nose: raspberry fruitiness, violet florals, finishing with peppery, spicy Mediterranean maquis.
Palate
Undeniably Teran — fresh, fruity, lightly tannic, and highly drinkable. Terra Mare confidently expresses its identity under the signature of Trapan.
Food Pairings
A testament to Istria's culinary excellence
The wine's savory depth and light tannins complement the complex flavors of dry-cured Istrian ham.
Aged cow's milk cheese studded with black truffles — an iconic Istrian pairing.
Istrian pork loin and traditional sausages, or sous-vide pork belly with Mediterranean herbs.
Baked or grilled palamida with black olives and rosemary — a surprising red-with-fish pairing.
