Skerlj Venezia Giulia Terrano 2017
Terrano is the main red grape variety of the Carso in northeastern Italy. (It is also grown in Slovenia and Croatia.) Imagine “…the fruit of Dolcetto, the structure of Pignolo and the wildness of Refosco” (Antonio Galloni) and you have a sense of the deep, almost wild, personality of Terrano from Carso. Black cherries, cloves, licorice, juniper berries, black plums. Organically raised, and bottled unfined and unfiltered.

The 2017 Terrano has a wild and animalistic personality. Dark musky blackberry, earthy minerals, white pepper and savory herbs come together to form a beguiling display. It’s slim in texture but makes up for it with a zesty mix of tart red and black berries, strewn with salty minerals and exotic spice. A twang of tart citrus adds lift as grippy tannins settle in, all under an air of pretty violet flowers. This is best enjoyed at the dinner table, especially in its youthful state and with all of that nervous energy. That said, it’s a beautiful expression of Terrano. (Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2021)
