L'Adriatico,
servito lentamente.
Un atlante editoriale indipendente dei vini, delle cucine, dei produttori e dei luoghi che definiscono la tavola adriatica.
Il gusto è geografia.
La tavola adriatica non è mai stata disegnata dai confini. Segue il calcare e il sale, i vigneti e la bora, le barche da pesca e i sentieri nel bosco. Adriatic Taste racconta questo paesaggio gastronomico condiviso con contesto, misura e rispetto per l’origine.
Storie per cui vale la pena viaggiare.
Racconti, appunti sul campo e guide pratiche su origine, mestiere, stagionalità e persone.

Un riferimento in crescita su varietà, regioni, cantine e strade del vino — dalla Malvazija e dal Teran a Pošip, Rebula e Vranac.
Malvazija Istarska
Freshness, saline lift, orchard fruit and a strong sense of limestone and red earth.
Teran
High acidity, dark fruit and iron; one of the north Adriatic’s defining red grapes.
Žlahtina
A light, delicate white closely associated with Vrbnik and the island of Krk.
Pošip
One of Dalmatia’s benchmark whites, capable of both freshness and serious texture.
Grk
Rare, distinctive and strongly tied to the sandy vineyards around Lumbarda.
Plavac Mali
Sun, stone and steep slopes; Croatia’s emblematic southern red grape.
Rebula / Ribolla
A cross-border grape central to the contemporary wine identity of the northern Adriatic.
Vitovska
A subtle Karst variety shaped by limestone, wind and low-yielding vineyards.
Vranac
A powerful indigenous red at the heart of Montenegro’s wine identity.
Mare, bosco, pietra, campo.
Scampi, tartufi, olio d'oliva, agnello delle isole, pesce azzurro, formaggi, erbe e fumo definiscono l'Adriatico.
Kvarner scampi
Sweet, delicate langoustines associated with the deeper, colder waters of Kvarner.
Istrian white truffle
An autumn icon of the Mirna Valley and Motovun Forest.
Extra-virgin olive oil
A foundational Adriatic ingredient, increasingly treated with the precision of fine wine.
Island lamb
Herbs, salt air and sparse island pasture shape one of the coast’s most characteristic meats.
Blue fish
Sardine, anchovy and mackerel remain at the heart of everyday coastal cooking.
Pag cheese
Hard sheep’s-milk cheese shaped by salt, wind and the island’s aromatic vegetation.
Wild asparagus
A fleeting seasonal ingredient that changes spring menus across Istria and the coast.
Peka
A technique as much as a dish: slow cooking under an iron bell with embers and time.
Viaggiare quando cambia la tavola.
Vendemmie, tartufi, asparagi, pesca e nuove annate: i momenti in cui un luogo sa più di sé stesso.
