Alcohol 13.0%
Grape Varieties Merlot 50%; Teran 50%
Region Istria
Soil Silty-clay soil on flysch, With quartz and calcite dominant in the mineral composition
Orientation South-Facing, Extremely Steep Exposure
Production Details Dry red wine. The exact-vintage vendor description places the Brdo vineyard on flysch terraces facing south, with slopes up to 35 degrees, two vine rows per terrace and plantings established progressively from 2003; serving is recommended at 16–18°C. A second exact-vintage vendor markets this release as EKO and made from organically cultivated/certified vineyard fruit but identifies no certification body. No exact elevation is proposed because the vendor description states 250–300 m while the producer's current Grimalda overview states over 300 m.
Tasting Notes Purple-red; blackberry, plum, blueberry and other dark-forest-fruit aromas; subtle spice; fresh and mineral, with structured tannins, harmonious acidity and Merlot-derived fruit fullness
Food Pairing Veal steak, red meat, aged cheeses, Istrian prosciutto, roasted dishes and pasta with meat sauces
