Istria wine and cheese

Istrian sheep's cheese with Teran (Istrian red)

Our pick

Teran is dry and high in acidity with low to medium tannin, and that acidity cuts the fat of a crumbly, grainy sheep's cheese while its fruit meets the herbal notes. Vesna Loborika's product page recommends Teran with its sheep's cheese, and Špin a rustic red.

Istrian skuta with Malvazija Istarska, fresh and unoaked

Our pick

Skuta is a fresh, mild cheese that Istrian dairies use from starters to desserts. A young, unoaked Malvazija, medium-bodied with high acidity, is a clean counterpoint to the soft, milky curd and keeps a skuta starter light.

Istrian sheep's cheese with Malvazija sparkling, traditional method (brut)

Our pick

A hard, full-fat sheep's cheese, grainy with an initial sharpness and herbal notes, is a starter at Istrian celebrations. A dry Malvazija sparkling wine cuts the fat with acidity and bubbles and refreshes the palate.
