Discover the sophistication of Xtrian, an exquisite red wine from the prestigious Veralda Winery in Istria. Crafted only in special years, this wine is made from the choicest handpicked Refosco grapes, meticulously selected from the finest part of the vineyard.

Tasting Notes: Xitrian dazzles with a vibrant, intense ruby red hue accented by purple highlights. The nose is a harmonious symphony of ripe cherries and plums, enveloped in luscious dark chocolate, with elegant hints of licorice, red pepper, and dark tobacco. The palate is extraordinarily complex and rounded, delivering a warm, velvety richness that lingers gracefully.

Winemaking Process: Using the traditional "pied de cuve" starter method, Xitrian undergoes natural yeast fermentation followed by malolactic fermentation. It is then aged for a minimum of 12 months in a blend of new and neutral 225L oak barrels, enriching its depth and complexity.

Awards: Xitrian is proud to be the first Croatian wine to earn a platinum medal and the esteemed title of Best in Show at the DWWA 2016. This award highlights its outstanding quality and the exceptional craftsmanship of Veralda Winery.

Perfect Pairings: Xitrian's rich and intricate profile pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, hearty stews, aged cheeses, and dark chocolate desserts. It's the perfect wine for elevating any meal.
