More questions
Malvazija and Teran from Cantina Benvenuti represent an authentic sensory journey into the heart of Istrian wine tradition, a territory rich in history and unique terroir. Malvazija, with its elegant and complex aromatic profile, expresses vibrant floral and fruity notes in the glass, supported by a fresh minerality typical of vineyards cultivated on soils rich in skeleton. Teran, imbued with character and robustness, offers the palate an explosion of ripe red fruits, accompanied by lively acidity and well-structured tannins, an expression of the native grape variety that adapts well to the local climate.
Both wines are the result of careful traditional vinification, which enhances territorial identity without artifices, with a calibrated aging that allows freshness and aromatic power to be maintained. Perfect with flavorful fish dishes and white meats for Malvazija, and with specialties based on red meat or aged cheeses for Teran. A celebration of Istria in a bottle.

The story
The Benvenuti family has been cultivating vineyards in the Motovun area for generations; the official website reports the discovery of an ancient amphora or vase in a vineyard, attesting to a long local tradition. The modern family winery dates back to the mid-20th century, and the first bottle marketed under the Benvenuti name appeared in the early 2000s.
Production philosophy
Focus on showcasing the native varieties of central Istria, winemaking that preserves the terroir's expression, and aging in less aromatic barrels so as not to mask the grape's personality; attention to micro-lots and high-altitude vineyards.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards located in the Kaldir/Motovun area, on flysch soils. Some vineyards, such as San Salvatore, are situated at up to about 400 metres elevation; mentioned sites include parcels such as Brkač, Santa Elisabetta and Kaldir.
