Fakin Teran 2022 [Croatia / Red / Bold]

■ Appearance: Deep ruby red. The vivid color, inherent to the varietal, extracted through cold maceration, shines in the glass.

■ Aroma: Rich aromas of ripe raspberries and blackberries, with notes of wild berries. A multi-layered bouquet with cassis, cinnamon spice, and subtle hints of vanilla and dried herbs.

■ Palate: Intense fruit flavors and fine-grained tannins. The characteristic acidity and minerality provide structure, leading to a refined and elegant finish.

The Fakin Family, Bearing 300 Years of History
The current owner, Marko, is a promising Croatian winemaker who has elevated the local Teran varietal to international acclaim, achieving a string of awards at prestigious competitions, including 95 points at Vinistra (Platinum Award) and 90 points at DWWA.

Its powerful structure and dense extract harmonize perfectly with exquisite meat dishes and the aroma of truffles.

• ■ Grilled premium red meat: The delicate tannins exquisitely enhance the flavor of the meat.
• ■ Black truffle pasta: The complex aromas of Teran resonate with the earthy scent of truffles.
• ■ Seared mackerel or bonito: The umami of "smoking" in Japanese cuisine beautifully complements the rich minerality.

Serving Temperature: 16℃〜18℃ (Enjoy it to bring out the richness characteristic of red wine.)

Mystical Soil: Terra Rossa and Flysch
A unique land at the foot of Motovun, where iron-rich red soil "Terra Rossa" and white soil "Flysch" intermingle. The cool breezes from the Mirna River bestow the Teran grape with powerful minerality and transparent acidity.
