The ancient autochthonous inhabitants of Istria – Histrians - successfully mastered the skills of growing this precious plant, as well as the skills of vine production. Among many sorts of wine in this region, the most important is Istrian White Malvasia, as well as the typical Istrian Teran, followed by Red Borgonja, Red Hrvatica, and many world-famous quality wine sorts like White Pinot, Chardonnay, Grey Pinot, Red Merlot, Refošk and Cabernet Sauvignon.
