The story of the Benvenuti winery is a story of family, tradition and terroir. The vineyards are situated in the quiet Istrian village of Kaldir, overlooking nearby Motovun, where they grow three grape varieties – Malvasia Istriana, Teran and Muscat. Throughout history, these varieties have been giving the best results in Istria and it is therefore their intention to use the advantages of this unique territory sustainably, with gratitude for being a small part of it.

Description

The 2018 Benvenuti Caldierosso is a distinctive blend of four varieties: Teran (50%), Merlot (17%), Nebbiolo (16%), and Tempranillo (17%). Grown at 300–350 meters above sea level in the family’s Santa Elizabeta vineyard, it showcases a strong structure with fruity, ripe tannins. Its ruby-red color is complemented by aromas of violets and red flowers. This wine pairs excellently with hearty meat dishes such as venison and lamb, as well as rich cheeses. With an ABV of 13%, it has already garnered accolades, including a gold medal at Vinistra and a silver at Decanter 2017, solidifying its exceptional quality.
