I spent time with Slovenia...Wow, excellent article. I spent time with Slovenian winemakers in the Primorska region. There is a revival in the production of indigenous varieties. I tasted Zelen, fabulous white, which production is still very small. I also had a chance with other whites, like Ribulla (Ribolla), Pinot Grigio and others I don't remember.<br /><br />But the average Slovenian drinker is in love with Refosco, which they call Teran. They attribute all kind of medicinal qualitites to this wine. In Italy the variety is called Refosco and also Schioppetino. Its earthy and tannic, and although I think it may have a hard time finding followers outside Slovenia and northeastern Italy, it was good when accompanying some wild hog stew at a countryside restaurant, or Gostilna. <br />cheers!Ivan Loyolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04126110511346780439noreply@blogger.com
