Damjanić Duro Istriano
Tasting Notes: "Nicely balanced, upbeat and engaging. Mid-weight with great vibrancy and only very delicate oak treatment that has been finely integrated. Red and black fruit are featured on the palate along with a crunchiness and a fine tannic profile. Very good length." Sara d'Amato (WineAlign) - 91 pts
"A pleasurable wild nose with savoury complexity and a jammy edge leading to an intense, spicy palate with a firm finish." (Decanter 2020)
