Zidarich
Teran Venezia Giulia Terrano
Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy
The 2016 Teran is dark and wild, making me think more of the Northern Rhône than Friuli, with a display of crushed stone, white pepper, blackberries and violets. It’s silky yet lifted, riding a wiry frame of acids and salty minerals, as notes of black currant and savory spice saturate throughout. Fine tannins come in late, along with a rush of sour citrus and purple inner florals. It’s a bit intimidating in this youthful state, yet the Zidarich Teran is full of potential.

Awesome. Think Loire cab franc dosed with Plousard. Mouthwatering with dried herbs, cranberry and dried cherry and lots of iron. 12% abv.

Medium ruby, rose, high acid to the point of being tangy, and medium tannin. Good with pizza, decent finish for being so moderate in alcohol

Light, earthy and hints of spice. Paired very well with pasta dishes. Slightly fruit forward with solid balance.
