Gran Teran definitely changes the perception of the Teran as a grape variety. This one has enormeuos aging potential! 
The wine is dominated by aromas of blueberry and blackberry, medium to full body Teran with extremely untypical smoothness. 
It is characterized by a harmony of lively acid with a rich extract, this wine has really HUGE complexity and richness when given a lot of air! 
Gran Teran aged in wood is one of the most interesting Istrian red wines. 
Almost exclusively focused on local varieties of Malvasia and Teran, Coronica proves how much tradition means to him.

Food pairing: Due to very nice acidity, perfect match with red meat or grilledd tuna steaks.

Moreno Coronica started with wines in 1992. His family has lived in the village of Koreniki long enough for it to carry the old spelling of their sur name.
Today he lives in his family home with his wife children and father who still prefers to speak in Italian. Moreno’s interpretation of Istrian terroir differs greatly from that of his contemporaries, yet more classic examples of the indigenous Malvasia Istriana and red Teran cannot be found. He is dismissive of wines that boast of flavors foreign to Istria, like tropical fruits, as for the ‘market’. To quote Moreno, “wine must taste like wine”.
He professes a faith in the terroir of Istria and its indigenous varieties and strives to develop his own ability to interpret them. It is interesting than that he is also a proponent of technology in the winery. Most of all because Coronica wines don’t feel "fashioned".
