Finally, this strange wine harvest is over. And then there's nothing but partying. A big party!
But Euro is busy and without him you can not celebrate. But busy doing what? In the cellar carrying out decanting? Cleaning the barrels and the fittings?
Noooo, that's already done and what's not been done will be sooner or later. He is committed to preparing for the most important sail event of the Gulf of Trieste. The Barcolana. And then ... obviously, the party gets into the boat! A small group of friends are picked up and a Terrano vertical tasting tugs up. Few bottles produced annually, about 1500, of this king of the Karst and only in perfect vintages. You can not get away from the moorland, the bora blowing is strong and it prevents us from enjoying the panorama of our beautiful gulf. Not bad, we stay in the mooring with immense joy of some non-avid participants in marinous practices. Before you start, you can have a drink with the "newborn" Terrano 2017 that colors everything, glasses, lips, teeth, clothes and even the cockpit of the lady who hosts us. But the commander and Euro do not make a plissè.... A bucket of water and everything is resolved. Elena and Karmen, good homeowners, have prepared a perfect tasting table underneath. It starts from the last Terrano Barde Hodì 2014 to arrive in 2007. A respectable tracking shot. Terrano, a rustic wine to be drunk when young, honored the passing of the years with great honor. Every vintage tells us its story perfectly.
Great emotions shared with (in alphabetical order) Federico Alessio, Luisa Alzetta, Mitja Butul, Anna Castiello, Monica Gregoricchio, Chiara Marchi, Patrizia Pittia, Liliana Savioli, Michelangelo Tagliente and the whole Parovel family.
The main variety cultivated in our territory is called Bianchera - Belica (Slovenian name for the cultivar), selected over the centuries in the territory of the municipality of San Dorligo della Valle - Dolina. Its name probably derives from the fact that the change in color of the fruit (lathe) is late and progressive, and almost never complete even at advanced maturation.
It lives well on the marvelous-arenaceous hills surrounding the Gulf of Trieste, but also on the most exposed limestone terrain of the Karst plateau. Among the main agronomic characteristics of this native variety is a high resistance to cold temperatures. Oil production is high, and yields are generally higher than 16%. Biancheria oil has some characteristic and very important aspects: a high percentage of oleic acid and a high content of polyphenols, natural antioxidants, as well as an extremely low oil acidity.
The 70th anniversary of Lambretta was celebrated in Trieste with a postmark and a toast with our Kamje Parovel, the first sparkling wine produced in Trieste by dad Zoran and mum Rosa in the Eighties. From then onwards we went a long way (in every possible meaning) and this encounter of Istrian malvasia istriana and glera couldn't be but the right wine to drink to a motion icon like the Lambretta, of which Euro Parovel is a passionate admirer.
Now that Autumn has arrived and it is a pleasure to reopen the ovens we propose an easy and fast recipe with the latest seasonal zucchini and basil that still resists on balconies and terraces. Inevitable ingredient is our extra virgin Macké.
