Great wine tasting experience
Husband and I cycled to Trapan this afternoon from Medulin and really enjoyed the wine tasting with Bruno and Irene. We had the basic tasting with the newest wines first, progressing to the acacia and oak aged wines. I was glad of the small plate of local sausage provided to offset so much wine to drink in a short space of time! Bruno showed us the cellar and explained his wines and business. The cute dogs and goat added to the experience. A little difficult to find initially but well worth the effort to get there! Recommended to visit if in area of Sisa. I communicated our visit by email beforehand.

Trapan best buy red wine: Trapan Revolution, Overpriced but excellent The one
The opportunity to meet vinemaker just after he jumpt off the tractor, and to have wine tasting and discusion with him and his family is unique in wine testing word, to be more precize, in Istria I have never experienced anything similar and I visited a lot of them. Great and privileged experience. Talking about wines, I have to admit something first. I have never found some good Teran without metal retro taste. That is my opinion. And I have tasted a lot of them. I read all those fantasist reviews always wondering who write about all those tastes like a kind of poetry. Hope I can say something reproducible simple and honest. The Revolution is definitely best buy red blended wine in Istria for 100 Kn and the One is overpriced, should be the same price as Clay Ottocento red, means about 180 Kn. Bruno is a realy great guy, and his winemaking is the one man show. It needs a lot of carige to try with Syrah in Istria and I congratulate on it. Teran should be replaced with Syrah in Istria. Radovan is still the best Malvasia in Istria but for red wines, coupage like Trapan The One and Clay Ottocento red, thay are the winners.
