With this recognition, the Teran variety and the Istrian region are placed at the very top world wine scene. Veralda is the initiator of innovations in the development of autochthonous varieties, which, among other things, was proven by the sensational discovery of the first Teran rose, which soon became a style in the production of Istrian Rose, as well as sparkling wine, giving Teran elegance and a completely new dimension in pairing in the oenological and gastronomic sense . The winery is focused on autochthonous varieties:

Istrian Malvazija, Refosco and Teran, expressing the uniqueness, nobility and tradition of the geographical area. The goal of the winery is to develop autochthonous varieties through organic production and innovative approaches.
