We are proposing to you this wine map of Istria with the traced in wine roads and trails in order to make you familiar with our winecellars and small wine-vaults. A larger, more explicit symbol (flag) was used to indicate wine-cellars, i.e. the ones offering greater selection of wine, modern technology, a bottled wine assortment and displaying certificates of awards on their walls. A smaller sign (number) was used to mark smaller rural wine-cellars and vaults using traditional vintage methods and offering a more modest selection of not necessarily bottled wine, but nonetheless, of good quality and at a more favourable price.
We are convinced that you are about to get lost trying to figure a way to move across our wine roads, but it can happen to us local people as well. Istria is a country of numberless trails and small hamlets; you set out for one hamlet and turn out in another but you needn't worry, there is good wine in there, too. By the way, remember to buy at least a bottle of grape-brandy; we attribute to it a few curative properties. |
