02 — The Land
LIMESTONE · MESOZOIC
Two hundred million years of sea left a plateau of limestone. Rain and wind spent millennia dissolving, carving and hollowing it — into dolines, dry valleys and the caves below.
TERRA ROSSA
Where the stone breaks, red earth appears — terra rossa. It is thin, stubborn and generous: it feeds the vines that make Teran.
BORA · NE WIND
And over everything rules the bora — a wind that dries the pršut, bends the pines, and taught people to build walls without a drop of mortar.

“The Karst has two faces — the one the wind touches, and the one it never will.”
