Equity, respect for other people and the environment, mutual aid and solidarity are the fundamental principles directing the organisation and the running of the 100 Miles of Istria. These are inspired directly from the values put forward by the International Trail Running Association (ITRA) amongst which we find authenticity, respect, humility and fair play. We wish to share these principles with those who participate in the 100 Miles of Istria: runners, partners, volunteers, spectators, local inhabitants and not forgetting organisers of other races. Conscience that our events take place in a framework which is at the same time both grandiose and fragile, the aim of this charter is to clearly formulate the benchmarks which will act as the guide line for our behaviour and actions. Our sport, Trail-running, is at present experiencing important changes the most perceptible of which are : a rising number of participants coming from an increasing number of different countries, a large diversity of motivations and profiles, more and more sensitive economic stakes and the not insignificant emergence of impact upon the environment . In this context of change, we consider that it is our responsibility to continue to promote it through the largest number of values which go beyond the sporting aspect itself make Trail-running real human adventure.

EQUITY It is the search for a just balance, based on impartiality, equality of chance benefiting all the runners and the recognition of the rights and duties of each of the players in the event (runners, volunteers, private and territorial partners, the press and the local population). Our races are organised to be of advantage to all without certain of them benefiting in a way which may put others at a disadvantage. Our races are open to everybody. Our rules are made for everybody and are applied identically to everybody. All the athletes have the same conditions, and they have the same rights and the same duties. It is our responsibility to guarantee this principle of equity, to make the necessary controls and to offer the best possible race conditions to all the participants. We limit the zones where assistance is authorised so as not to penalise those runners who can not benefit from it. We ask the race marshals to ensure that the rules are respected throughout the race. The selection which we are obliged to make at registration is established on criteria which are accessible to all. The reception of top-level runners of is the object of pre-established rules which do not disadvantage the other runners. We ensure that all the finishers are rewarded.

ETHICAL CHARTER

Franck and Stephanie Manivoz at the finish line in Umag: 2016

RESPECT FOR PEOPLE The 100 Miles of Istria gathers enthusiasts from a large diversity of cultures, personalities or motivations. To respect others, is to understand and to accept that they will be different and to adopt the “know how” so as not to hamper them or bother them. It also is understanding that the mountain is a place which possesses its own culture and its own traditions. We work permanently on high-quality organisation, we stay tuned to all and we try hard to always find answers. We limit the numbers to avoid hold-ups along the route which could be harmful for the quality of the races. As from registration, we scrupulously check each runner’s qualifying races, so that nobody can participate illegitimately to the detriment of another runner who is respectful of rules. Each player makes a commitment to show respect and conviviality, towards the local population and towards every person in mountains at the same time as them (other trail-runners, locals, mountain hut personnel, walkers…). Respect occurs through sharing regulations to which every player (runner, volunteer, partner, journalist, accompanying person) makes a commitment to understand and to respect. We ask everybody not to cheat, under any circumstance, and to be an example of fair-play.

100 MILES OF ISTRIA 2017


RESPECT FOR ONESELF The practice of very long duration Trail-running carries risks and the search for performance and/or pleasure on no account justifies the distortion of one’s health in the more or less short term or the taking of risks. We ask each runner: • to be particularly careful to take no doping products and not to resort, wrongly, to self-medication, • to learn and to agree not to exceed one’s limits to the point of damaging one’s physical or mental integrity RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT Our races take place in the low mountains. This is a fragile natural environment, in which it is necessary to protect the balance ensuing both from biodiversity and human activity. Our event has to contribute to the general awareness of the fragility of the natural surroundings. We make every effort to reduce our impact. We also recognise with lucidity that there are inevitable impacts and we make a commitment to do all we can to rectify them.

environmentally-friendly attitude as possible: • drop nothing on the ground (including that we don’t see) in any area along the route(including in the inhabited zones), • do not shortcut the paths as this causes harmful erosion to the site, • preserve the flora, respect the fauna, and avoid making inappropriate noise • to rigorously respect the rules of the nature reserves, • to limit carbon emissions by avoiding motorised travel by favouring the use of communal transport or as a last resort the use of car-sharing. SOLIDARITY The mountains are a hostile environment where man has learnt the rules of solidarity and to help each other so as to live and prosper there. For this reason we ask each player of the 100 Miles of Istria, in whatever place or circumstance they are in, to make it their priority to go to help any other person in danger or in difficulty. As organisers, we have the conviction that our solidarity also has to applied in a more global framework, and that it is our responsibility to help the most deprived. This conviction is based on the consciousness of our own privileges and our attachment to humanistic values.

We are trying to minimise to the maximum the environmental impact connected to the functioning of our organisation, in particular by decreasing the volume of our impact and by reducing our greenhouse gas emissions connected to professional transport. We would like to invite you to improve your knowledge of the mountains, their ecosystem and fragilities, not to become an expert but so as to act with responsibility and awareness. We encourage you to minimise your impact on the environment through which you pass by adopting an as ULTRA -TRAIL WORLD TOUR

SECURITY! As organisers our role is to guarantee the security of the competitors and in particular the security on the ground, thanks to our volunteers; doctors, nurses and first-aiders. Even in spring, sudden changes in the weather conditions can occur. At the start of April, the temperature can drop to -10°C, snow or hail can fall abundantly, and one can get lost in fog despite comparatively comprehensive way-markers. And it can also reach more than 25°C! Each runner is responsible for his own security. Even the best of runners are not immune to injury which might immobilise them during the night, in the cold and rain high in the mountains. To minimise the risks it is necessary to: Understand that 100 Miles of Istria is neither a marathon nor an ordinary trail. Run below your possibilities to keep some “juice” with which to tackle a difficult situation such as a sudden change of the weather conditions. In the mountains, one of the first rules is to systematically avoid stopping at

IMPORTANCE OF THE QUALITY EQUIPMENT Do not forget that various hazards connected to both the environment and the race, might keep you waiting longer that expected for assistance. Your safety will therefore depend upon the quality of what you put in your pack. The mandatory equipment is therefore a absolute must!

100 MILES OF ISTRIA 2017

a high point, very exposed to the wind and other bad weather conditions. In case of weakness, do not hesitate to rest at the next refreshment point, but never at the top of a pass or at a high point. A few moments of recovery, quick burning sugars mixed with some slow-burning sugars will allow continuing in better shape. Avoid any heat loss, anticipate the changes in temperature (it’s while going down that one cools down), do not wait to shiver before covering up, do not change into dry clothes in full wind, plan ahead or wait to be in a sheltered position. If over several hundred metres you do not see any way markers, turn round and retrace your steps to find the last one. Stay on the paths. Do not stop to rest, in the case of extreme fatigue, in the cold and wind, go to the nearest security post, if necessary by going back the way you came.


Alert other competitors in case of injury or of incapacity to continue. Call the race direction +385 91 577 44 25 or even the emergency number, 112 for Croatia. Walking poles: be careful with your poles, especially in the first part of the race when the human density is particularly strong. Do not use the wriststraps on the descents: if you fall, the wrist straps prevent you from getting back using your hands (also causes injuries to the shoulders, wrists, forearms … or graver still the skull). Remember : Assisting an injured runner (or volunteer), or one whom is in difficulty is an absolute must!

Mobile/Cell phone & emergency calls A mobile telephone is obligatory for each runner with the international roaming action activated throughout the race and with the battery in working order (think of deactivating your options to save you batteries, eg: Bluetooth). For those who are afraid of being disturbed by the ring of their phone, put it into silent mode keeping the “text alert” active. If the race should be stopped, keep your telephone switched on to receive further race information. The organisation must be able to contact you under any circumstance, which includes before and after the race, due to bad weather or any other unforeseen occurrence. Verify that the number that you have put on your registration document is the number of the phone that you will be carrying during the race.

ELITE / VIP RUNNER GROUPS This year, we’ve decided to create two specific groups of runners. One of them is ELITE runners group and the other one is VIP group. Both of them will have an accelerated registration procedure and a slightly different personalized BIB. Who are the ELITE runners? This one is very simple, for men, runners with +800 ITRA performance index, for women, runners with +700 ITRA performance index. In addition, every UTWT supported runner is considered as ELITE. Who are the VIP runners? Well, first of all, our last year’s winners of the each course and a group of runners who’s been faithful to the race from the very beginning, meaning that they had been present on every race edition so far. We are overwhelmed by their loyalty, so this would be a little push up for them.

COURSE CONDITION CLIMATE The basic characteristic of the climate of the Istrian peninsula is given by the Mediterranean climate. Along the coast, it gradually changes towards the continent and it passes into continental, due to cold air circulating from the mountains and due to the vicinity of the Alps. The main characteristics of the Mediterranean climate are dry and warm summers, with the average number if approximately 2.400 sunny hours a year. Winters are mild and pleasant, while it snows very rarely. The annual average of air temperatures along the northern part of the coast is about 14°C, while it is 16°C in the southern area and the islands. January is the coldest month with the average temperature mainly of about 6°C, and July and August are the warmest, with the average temperature of about 24°C. The period when the daytime middle of the air temperature is higher than 10°C approximately lasts for 260 days a year, while hot weather, with a daily maximum above 30°C, lasts for maximally twenty days.

SUNSHINE TERRAIN Mild and wavy relief shapes rise up towards the central part of the peninsula, to reach their highest point in the north-east, on the mountain massif of Ćićarija and Učka - peak Vojak with 1.396 metres (situated in the Primorsko-Goranska Region). According to the geological and geomorphic structure, the Istrian peninsula can be divided in three completely different areas. The hilly northern and north-eastern part of the peninsula, due to its scarce vegetation and nude Karst surfaces is also known as White Istria. South-west from White Istria stretches the area that is considerably richer morphologically. These are the lower flisch mountainous tracts consisting of impermeable marl, clay, and sandstone, which is why this part is called Grey Istria. Limestone terrace along the coastline, covered with red earth is called Red Istria.

16. EQUIPMENT In order to participate in these events, a set of obligatory equipment is required. However it is important to note it is the minimum necessary and that each trail-runner must adapt it according to their needs. It is important, in particular, not to choose clothing that is the lightest possible weight in order to gain a few grams, but to choose items which will give real protection against the cold, windy or snowy mountain weather, therefore giving a good level of security and performance. Obligatory material : EQUIPMENT

leaving the factory. If you decide to use poles, you must keep them throughout the whole of the race… It is forbidden to start without sticks and recover them up along the way. No poles will be allowed in the spare’s bags. For all your questions concerning obligatory equipment consult the FAQs 17. RACE BIBS Every bib is individually handed to each runner on production of: • a photographic identity, • your race pack and all you obligatory equipment The race bib must be worn on the chest or the stomach and must be permanently and fully visible throughout the entire race. It must, therefore, always be positioned over any clothing and cannot for any reason be fixed onto the back or a leg. The name and logo of the sponsors must neither be modified, nor hidden. The race number is the pass necessary to get to the shuttles, buses, refreshment posts, nurses, rest areas, showers, areas for depositing or recuperating spares bags…Except in the case of refusal to comply with a decision taken by a race official, the race bib is never withdrawn, but in the case of retirement, it is deactivated. 18. SPARES BAGS RED & BLUE COURSE : each competitor receives with his/her race bib, two plastic bags. Big one: for the aid station Buzet. Having filled it with the affairs of their choice and having closed it, they can deposit it, at the designated place at the race HQ in the working hours. The bag is transported by the organisation to Aid station Buzet. When reaching Buzet, each runner reclaims their bag. When they leave again, they deposit their bag at the area set aside for this purpose. The bag is then taken back to Umag. Small one: fot the personal stuff/gear at the start point. Having filled it with the stuff competitors doesn’t want to carry along the course, they can deposit it at the designated places at the each race start. The bags is then taken back to Umag. GREEN & YELLOW COURSE: each competitor receives with his/her race bib, small plastic bags. Small one: fot the personal stuff/gear at the start point. Having filled it with the stuff competitors doesn’t want to carry along the course, they can deposit it at the designated places at the each race start. The bags is then taken back to Umag. The organisation assures the repatriation, to Umag, of sacks belonging to runners who have abandoned, on the condition that their abandonment has been registered. The delay of the return of bags is based on the logistical constraints and the organisation cannot guarantee a complete return of the bags before the end of the race. Only the bags supplied by the organisation will be transported. Sticks are not transportable in these bags. The contents of the bags not having been checked, any complaint about the contents on arrival is not acceptable. It is recommended not to put valuable objects in it. 22

100 MILES OF ISTRIA 2017

The Organization will definitely NOT send any bag to participants’ houses. Bags not collected after this deadline will be immediately destroyed for reasons of hygiene. It is recommended to keep toiletry and change of clothing material at Umag. 19. RESCUE AND MEDICAL ASSISTANCE First aid posts are positioned at different points throughout the course. These posts are in radio or telephone liaison with Race Control. A medical control team is present during the entire duration of the event in Umag. The rescue posts are aimed at bringing help to any person in danger with the means particular to the organisation or registered. If it appears that a runner is in difficulty or seriously injured to call for assistance : • go in person to a first aid point • telephone the course controller • ask another runner to alert the first aiders It is essential that each runner helps anybody in danger and alerts the first aid point. Do not forgot, that due to the problems related to the environment and the type of event, one might have to wait for assistance for longer than anticipated. Your security, therefore, depends upon the quality of the materials that you have in your pack. A runner calling on a doctor or a rescuer submits himself to their authority and undertakes to accept their decisions. From the moment where the health of a runner necessitates treatment via an intravenous drip, the runner will be, obligatorily, excluded from the race. The first-aiders and doctors have the right to : • exclude from a race (by invalidating the race-bib) all competitors deemed unfit to continue the event. • to evacuate by any means a runner judged to be in danger • to hospitalise any runners whose state of health necessitates doing so The choice of the means of evacuation and of hospital is the decision of the official first-aiders and doctors. Expenses incurred, resulting from emergency assistance or evacuation, are payable by the person rescued who is also responsible for all costs relating to their return from the area to where they were rescued. The only resort is for the runner to constitute and present a dossier to his personal insurance within the deadline given. If for any reason it is impossible to make contact with the course controller (+385 91 577 44 25), you can call the rescue services directly by dialing 112 (especially if you find yourselves in a zone « urgences seulement/sos only ») Each runner must stay on the way-marked paths, even to sleep. Any runner who voluntarily leaves the way-marked path is no longer under the responsibility of the organisation. 20. CONTROL AND REFRESHMENTS POSTS Each runner will be supplied with electronic chips fixed to their racebibs. Runners who do not have their chip permanently with them will be penalised.


A control is carried out on the arrival of any rescue or refreshment post. Unexpected control posts are set up in places other than the rescue and refreshment posts. Their position is not communicated by the organisation.

make their own way to the following aid station/check point and from there will be transported to Umag by car. In the case of poor meteorological conditions and/or for reasons of safety, the organisation reserves the right to stop the event underway or to modify the time barriers.

Only the runners carrying a visible and duly controlled race number have access to the refreshment posts.

22. REST AND SHOWERS Uniquely for RED 100 miles and BLUE 108 km race : at Buzet each competitor can benefit from a rest area (with camp beds and blankets).

The race guide and the relevant pages on the internet give a precise list of the refreshment points.

Those runners who wish to stay on in Umag after the race, must make their own accommodation arrangements.

They will be equiped with drinks + sweet cakes, chocolate, bananas, oranges, raisins, prunes, salty biscuits, cheese, sausage, bread.

It is possible to take a hot shower, only at the arrival.

A rations without gluten will be available upon request Furthermore, a hot dish is offered in Buzet and in Umag at the end of the race. To avoid the wastage of disposable plastic cups during the race, every runner has to equip himself with a tumbler with a minimum volume of 15cl. Attention, water-bottles and flasks are not beakers! Due to the large numbers, disposable beakers will be used at the following points: • Plomin, Poklon, Vrh, Oprtalj A small pouch for collecting their rubbish is handed to every runner with their race bib. Every runner seen throwing down their litter along the route will be penalized. Trash cans are provided in large numbers at every refreshment post and must be used. 21. MAXIMUM AUTHORISED TIME AND TIME BARRIERS The maximum time for the event, for the totality of the course, is fixed at: • RED : 48 hours • BLUE : 33 hours • GREEN : 16 hours • YELLOW : 10 hours The time limits for leaving (time barriers) of the principle control posts will be marked and written in the course guide. These time barriers are calculated to enable participants to reach the Finish in the maximum time imposed, while making possible stops (rest, meal…) To be authorised to continue the event, runners must set off again from the control post before the fixed time limit (whatever their arrival hour at the control post). Any competitor excluded from the race and wishing to continue his race can only do so after returning his race number, at his own responsibility and in complete autonomy. Participants who reach the check points after the maximum time, those who are injured and those who are judged by the medical staff to be unfit to continue the race, and any other athletes who decide to drop out, shall be taken to the finish line by shuttle bus. For logistical reasons, competitors who have dropped out may have to wait before being returned to the finish area. Any participant who drops outfrom the race at any point other than the established check points should

Access to the rest area and to the showers at the arrival is strictly limited to runners in bare feet. 23. ABANDONMENT AND REPATRIATION Except for injury, a runner must only abandon at a control post. They must alert the head of post, who will invalidate their race-bib. The runner keeps his invalidated race bib because it is still his pass for shuttles, buses, meals, care rooms… Repatriation will be decided on by the post leader, based on the following general rules : Buses are available from certain refreshment posts indicated by a pictogram “bus” on the event route maps to repatriate runners, who abandon, back to Umag. Runners who abandon at another rescue or refreshment post but whose state of health does not necessitate being evacuated must get back as quickly as possible and by their own means to the closest repatriation point. Concerning the refreshment or rescue posts accessible to cars or fourwheel drive During the closure of the post, the organisation can, in the measure of means available, repatriate the runners having retired and still present at the post ln the case of unfavourable weather conditions justifying partial or total closure of the race, the organisation ensures the repatriation as soon as possible of those runners having retired. In case of abandonment before a control point, it is imperative to return to the previous control point and inform the post leader of one’s abandonment. If, during this return, the runner meets the end of race sweepers, it is them who invalidate the race bib. The runner is then no longer under the organisation’s control. 24. WAY MARKERS For better night vision, the way markers include a section of white reflective material which will be easily visible with a head torch. ATTENTION: if you can not see any more markers, retrace your steps! With respect for the environment no paint will be used on the paths.

LABIN RED COURSE START

171 KM / +7.120 M

THE PEARL OF THE KVARNER BAY The medieval town of Labin is situated on the hill above Rabac. Its old name of Albona was first mentioned in 285 AD. The birthplace of Matthias Flacius Illyricus, the reformer and collaborator of Martin Luther, it is a cultural and administrative center today. The rich cultural and architectural heritage of Labin is enlivened by number of art ateliers and by the bustling youth gathering in the coffee bars scattered around the old town. The Sculpture Park in nearby Dubrova features over 70 forma viva stone sculptures. After a walk through the narrow streets of the Old Town, pay a visit to the Town Museum with its archaeological and unique in this part of Europe, a miniature coal mine. Have a look at the Memorial collection of Matthias Flacius Illyricus, peek into the art ateliers, enjoy the view of Rabac and Cres island from the Fortica or pop into the small, elegant shops and take refreshments on one of the terraces of the local coffee bars. Whether to do business or just to have a chat, these are the places where everyone meets. ‘RES PUBLICA ALBONESSIUM’ Labin, a picturesque town situated on a 320 meters high hill and only three kilometers from the seaside, was inhabited already two thousand years B.G. The remnants of Kunci, one of the settlements called the ‘castellums’, dating from the Bronze Age, can be found in the vicinity of Labin. Its old IllyrianCeltic name is Albona or Alvona and it was probably founded by Celts in the 4th century B.C. on the ruins of the ancient city. Some historians say it was fortified by the Illyrians in the 11th century B.C. They also say that Albona in the Celtic language means ‘a town on the hill’ or ‘an elevated settlement’. Titus Livius said that Labin inhabitants were pirates. After the conflicts between the local inhabitants and Romans, which had started in the 3rd century B.C., Istra came under the Romans in 177 B.C. The borderline was the river Rasa. Labin and its surroundings thus became an integral part of Illyrian, the Roman province with a high degree of independence and authority over the nearby settlements. The oldest written document about Labin is a relief from the 3rd century with the insertion ‘RES PUBLICA ALBONESSIUM’.

LOVRAN BLUE COURSE START

108 KM / +4.470 M

LAUREL TOWN Lovran is a town with a long and diverse past, with a hundred-year-long tradition of tourism. It took its name from laurel, laurus nobilis, which grows abundantly in the evergreen groves in the town and environs. Of all the places that have developed on the steep eastern slopes of Učka, Lovran is the oldest, coming into being directly on the coast of Liburnia. Lovran has preserved its historical core and medieval city plan. The old city was girt with defensive walls and bastions, on the foundations and walls of which, during time, houses have been built.The courtyards of the Old Town are a particular charm of Mediterranean cityscapes. Behind the stone portals the façades of the neighbouring houses can be seen, decorated with their steps, porches and vaults. In the centre of the courtyard is the wellhead. A good climate, luxuriant Mediterranean vegetation and a favorable geographic location contributed to the rapid development of tourism during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Since that time, Lovran, together with Opatija, has been the most important locality on the famed Riviera. Several villas designed by the celebrated Viennese architect Carl Seidel dating from that period are part of the world architectural heritage. At the beginning of the 21st century, Lovran can draw on a rich historical heritage, a hundred-year-old tradition of tourism, a well-preserved nature, a developed infrastructure and everything else that permits a new take-off in the tourist industry combined with sustainable development and respect for all ecological standards.

100 MILES OF ISTRIA 2017


BUZET GREEN COURSE START

69 KM / +2.410 M

CITY OF TRUFFLES Buzet is situated in the very north of Istria near the border with Slovenia. Its historic core, dating from the Middle Ages lies on a hilltop above a fertile valley of the longest Istrian river – the Mirna. Today, Buzet is widely known as the ‘City of Truffles’ since the forests along the Mirna River are especially rich in this divine tuber. According to some views, the white truffle of Istria is as good as the most famous white truffle from the Italian region of Alba. In honour of this truffle, each year Truffle Days are organized in September and October. On the second weekend in September a large folk festivity also take place in Buzet with a special attraction – a giant omelette (commonly known as ‘fritada’ or ‘fritaja’) with over 2 000 eggs and 10 kilograms off truffles is prepared in a huge pan. This event officially marks the beginning of Truffle Days in Istria. The area of Buzeština has been inhabited since ancient times. Proof of this are prehistoric remains of stone objects found in Golupska cave, Podrebarska cave and some other caves. Illyrian tribes inhabited these areas in the Bronze Age when they began to build hilltop settlements surrounded by walls. From AD 177 to AD 476 this area was under Roman rule. The Buzet Earring

100 MILES OF ISTRIA 2017


MOTOVUN YELLOW COURSE START

42 KM / +1.100 M

THE ANCIENT KEEPER OF THE RIVER MIRNA VALLEY In the northern part of Istria, overlooking the Mirna River valley, lies surely the most famous and attractive Istrian medieval town of MotovunMontona. This captivating hilltop town is one of the characteristic symbols of the Istrian interior. Motovun is the perfect venue for a large number of events, the most significant among them being the International Motovun Film Festival that takes place at the end of July where world-known film artists may be seen. Motovun is also interesting for ballooning lovers, its favourable microclimate enables flying in balloons all year round, so that MotovunMontona hosts several ballooning events. Motovun Forest which stretches along the Mirna River valley is especially rich in truffles, the underground malodorous fungus believed to be an aphrodisiac. Istrian white truffles, whose season lasts from September to December are said to be as good as the finest Italian and French truffles. Opposite Motovun stands the charming picturesque town of OprtaljPortole, as well as Livade, famous for the Days of Truffles held every year from September to November. Every year in Livade, also known as the World’s truffle centre, a special festival is organized with a contest of choosing the largest truffle. In close vicinity is also Istarske toplice, thermal spa with curative water. Motovun is especially attractive due to its medieval town walls that surround the town in a ring-like manner and the view of the vineyards and the Motovun Park Forest. The tourist and gastronomic offer turned Motovun-Montona into one of the most popular excursion destinations of the tourists who spend their holidays on the west and east coast of Istria. The area around the town can be seen while walking the Motovun Park Forest in search of the gastronomic specialty – the truffle, while visiting the vineyards of teran, pinot, malvasia on the south-western slopes, while hunting or cycling. Since 1903, in the part of the town called Kanal every third Monday since 1903 a cattle fair is held. One of the legends related to Motovun is the one about Veli Jože (Big Jože), based on it Vladimir Nazor wrote the short story of the same name.

UMAG FINISH FIRST TOURIST ENTRANCE TO CROATIA Umag, small town and port on the north-western coast of Istria, presents ‘Croatia’s gateway to Europe’. It also has the reputation of the Istrian sports centre, since as the host of the ATP tournament for many years now, it attracts numerous top world tennis players. Its beneficial features were already recognized by the Romans who turned it into their summer residence. The magnificence and splendour of those times today is reflected in the many Venetian houses in the old part of Umag. At a distance of only 40 kilometres from Trieste, 150 kilometres from Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia and 50 nautical miles from Venice, Umag is a favourite holiday destination with extraordinary excursion possibilities. Umag’s hinterland offers newly discovered tourist attractions like mountaineering, caving and other chances for adventure enthusiasts. The old town of Umag is located on a small peninsula (which was once an island) on the north-western coast of Istria. It was built on the foundations of Roman archaeological ruins and it has preserved its network of narrow streets and a Medieval urban structure. Even the Romans proclaimed Umag for their seaside resort and connected it with the mainland.

SUNDAY

The new part of Umag stretches for the most part along the coast from Katoro to Novigrad, where its main tourist capacities are located.

TIME TABLE

Plomin (Italian: Fianona) is a village in the Croatian part of Istria, situated approximately 11 km north of Labin, on an 80 meters high hill. It is a popular destination for tourists traveling through Istria by road. Originally named Flanona, the settlement was built in Roman times, above the bay bearing the same name. Plomin was abandoned after World War II, due to the bay becoming too muddy and its inhabitants, mostly Italians, emigrating to Italy. However, it has since been repopulated, and is today home to approximately 130 people. The buildings in the town are several hundred years old, built on the ruins of the original Roman houses. The walls date back to the 9th century. Plomin contains two churches, St George the Elder and St George the Younger. Both contain Christian art. St. George the Elder contains Plomin tablet as a part of the outer wall, an 11th-century religious text written in the Glagolitic alphabet, the oldest known Slavic alphabet.

Buzet and its area have been inhabited since ancient times. Illyrian tribes inhabited these areas in the Bronze Age when they began to build hilltop settlements surrounded by walls. From AD 177 to AD 476 the area was under the Roman rule, which was followed by Byzantine rule and after the great movement of the peoples came the Croats and Slovenes. At the end of the 8th century Istria was under the rule of the Franks, who introduced the feudal system. Buzet recognized the rule of the Aquileian Patriarch up until 1497, and from that year until 1797 it was under Venetian rule. After the fall of the fort RaĹĄpor, Buzet became the base of the Venetian military commander of the area which had a significant impact on Buzet. It was the time when crafts developed, great care was taken about possible enemy attacks, providing arms and fortifying the town walls. Small well was renovated, large and small gates were built as well as the new parish chrurch of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. After the fall of the Venetian Republic, Istria came under Austrian rule, which lasted until 1918.

Motovun is one of the most beautiful towns in Istria, certainly worth visiting, whether you are a runner or just a tourist. At the foot of the Motovun hill, the mythical Jason and the Argonauts sailed along the Mirna River, but the first inhabitants to leave traces populated this area in the period between 3,500 and 2,200 B.C. The first mention of Motovun in written records dates back to 804 and after centuries of domination by the Germans and the Patriarchs of Aquileia, Motovun asked Venice to be accepted under its rule in 1278 and remained so until 1797. At the time of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy this area was renowned for the growing of trees used in ship-building. The Motovun area is abundant with natural beauties due to its biological diveristy, rich flora and fauna and good climate. Visitors are drawn to the lush green meadows and the natural habitat filled with many plants and animals. The River Mirna bisects the valley and runs through the Motovun forest, which is known for its famous inhabitants – truffles. No one should miss the spectacular view from the city walls over the Mirna valley.

Oprtalj, situated on the hill reachable from Motovun-Montona along the narrow southward plateau is according to many, one of the most picturesque towns of the northern Istria. Oprtalj or Portole, which is its Italian name, was formerly a fort surrounded by defensive walls on which houses were built among barely protruding former town gates. In front of the gates, there is a huge Venetian loggia with the collection of stone monuments and an immediate vicinity of a plateau situated on the high fortifications offering the view all the way to the sea. This area is famous for three more locations well-known for its sights. Below Oprtalj next to the Mirna river, there is Livade, a world centre of truffles. In the immediate vicinity of Livade, Zrenj also called Sridone is situated, a former town of skilful and rich craftsmen such as blacksmiths, weavers, stone-masons and the birth place of St. Geronimo. Below the 85 meters high rock, on the spring of healing water of St. Stephen there is a health resort ‘Istrian Spa’.

Grožnjan, a small Istrian town of great cultural significance not only in Croatia but also internationally, lives its summer months very intensely. Every year at the beginning of May, the little streets and squares of Grožnjan-Grisignana metamorphose and turn into a truly artistic beehive: it opens its summer music academies for young people, its artistic, dance and drama workshops and its peace activism workshops under the leadership of well-known experts and teachers and famous names from music, art and drama. During those few summer months Grožnjan-Grisignana lives and breathes art and the labyrinth of its little streets become one great stage on which are constantly interchanging the sounds of jazz and classical music, guitar and piano, violin and cello, drum and vibraphone...

Situated on top of a hill at 222 m above sea level, the small town of Buje dominates the surrounding green terrace-like fields. Due to its strategic location it is called The Watchman of Istria. Buje-Buie is surrounded by numerous hills which were settled already during the Bronze Age by various tribes and during the Iron Age the Histrians came to their prehistoric settlements. With the foundation of Roman Reign the region becomes Agro della Cononia di Trieste which was annexed to the region Venetia et Histria. During the turbulent time of Barbarian invasions the population found refugee in fortresses built on flat hill tops. The fortified castle of Buje-Buie dates from this period, too. Since the 18th century the settlement has spread outside the town walls. The new neighbourhoods have become important centres of culture, education, sport, economy and administration.

This small Istrian town is perched on a hill north of Butoniga Lake. This exceptional position enables you to see over 130 towns, villages and churches of the Istrian peninsula from its bell tower. The area of Vrh known as VrhuvĹĄtina comprises 17 villages with about 700 inhabitants. The town has 40 houses situated around the parish church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. The parish church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary from 1231 houses the most important monument known as the stone repository with decorative figures and a Glagolitic inscription. Another old architectural monument in Vrh is the chapel of St. Anthony the Abbot, built in the 15th century and reconstructed in 1894 which lies along the road, south of the town. On the chapel is a stone plaque with Glagolitic inscription indicating the year of construction, name of builder, priest and laymen who managed the church property.

Are you familiar with ITRA? ITRA stands for the International Trail Running Association PRESENTATION AND OBJECTIVES On September 3rd 2012, the 1st International Trail running conference was held in Courmayeur, Italy with more than 150 delegates (race organisers, manufacturers, journalists and elite athletes) who came from 18 different countries around the world. This was the first time that so many players in the field of trail-running were were gathered. This conference allowed all the participants to see the diversity of points of view and to understand the necessity for trail-running to be organised as a discipline, in its own right, while taking into account the different approaches on the different continents: America, Asia, Africa Oceania and Europe.

These conclusions laid down the foundations for the practice of trail-running, and established the basis on which to create an association wanting to bring together all the actors of trail-running worldwide, around shared values and principles.

• This is how the International Trail-Running Association (ITRA) was born in July 2013, driven by the passion for trail-running and the enthusiasm of its founding members. The International Trail-Running Association is open to all players in the field of trail-running and wishes above all to be a place for meeting, listening and exchanges.

Uniting their cultures and points of view to accompany this discipline in full evolution, they have worked on writing an ethical charter, proposing an international definition of trailrunning, and the setting up of a policy for health matters and anti-doping. They founded a basis for a reasonable management of top-level athletes and reflected upon the creation of an international ranking system.

100 MILES OF ISTRIA 2017

The main objectives of the ITRA are: •

Divided in 5 working groups, 50 volunteers (race organisers, athletes, federation representatives, manufacturers, journalists, coaches...), from 13 different countries on the 5 continents, worked together around a virtual round table.

sustainable development at the heart of trail-running; To allow all its members to express their feelings and to be heard at an international level; To maintain constructive relationships and to collaborate with national trail-running associations and national and international federations; To promote and collaborate in the organisation of championships or of continental or world trail-running circuits which will reinforce the international visibility of trail-running and produce valuable recognition to elite athletes.

To develop and promote trail-running as a discipline in its own right, accessible to all, rich in its diversity of cultures and venues of practice; To promote its sporting ethic which relies heavily on strong values (authenticity, humility, fair-play, equity, respect and solidarity) with not only all the players in trail-running but the general public as well; To contribute to the improvement of the quality of the organisation and the security of participants; To promote the preventative actions concerning health matters and above all to do everything possible to fight against doping; To contribute to a better practice of respect for the environment and to promote

PERFORMANCE INDEX The ITRA’s performance index aims to provide an evaluation of the performance level of trail runners. In particular, it compares the international level of trail runners against athletes who have never participated in such a competition. But this performance index must not be considered as an international ranking for trail runners. However, the ITRA is actually studying the possibility of setting up a true ranking which would therefore compliment the performance index. The performance index is regularly updated (more than 4 900 trail races taken in to account at November 1st 2014 !!!). For each runner, the best 5 races are taken into account. In the situation where there are not a sufficient number of races, a statistical calculation is made from the known results so as to estimate their performance level. TO WHAT LEVEL CORRESPONDS THE PERFORMANCE INDEX?

HOW ARE POINTS CALCULATED? The distance and the height gain stated by the organisers are added to the coefficient for the difficulty of the race. Apart from the distance, height gain and the difficulty coefficient, performance is transformed into an equivalent distance on the flat. Each distance on the flat is associated with a theoretical maximum performance (TMP). For each race, each runner is attributed with a number of points, called “côte”, out of 1000 which is in relation to both their result and the theoretical maximum performance (TMP). The taking in to account, for each race, of the distance, the height gain and the difficulty coefficient allows the attribution of the number of points (côte) for the different races. Only the time achieved by the runner is taken in to account. The runner’s finishing position in the race is ignored. This performance index is calculated using all the trail races which publish an official ranking. With reference of the definition of trail as defined by the ITRA, this index takes in to account all those races in open country which have a minimum distance on asphalt and which take place in total or semi self-sufficiency. The 5 best results from the all the race categories

are taken in to account. In the case where a runner does not have a sufficient number of races, a tapered statistical calculation allows extrapolation of theoretical results of the missing races, and hence the calculation of the runner’s performance index. One single race can therefore be sufficient for a runner to appear in the performance index. This performance index is calculated over the last 36 months. This period is long enough to permit reliable statistical calculations. Furthermore, in the case of an injured runner, they still appear in the performance index due to their previous performances. The performance index is based on the average of the runners’ 5 best results, whatever the category, over the 2 previous years and the year in progress. The general index is calculated on the weighted average of the 5 best results, a mix of categories, while the category index is calculated on the best results of the category. For a versatile runner, often their best 5 races will be spread across several different categories, which therefore gives them a better result in the general index than they would have for each category. There is one performance index for men and one for women (but the 2 are calculated using he same method and it is therefore possible to compare the level of performance between people of the opposite sex).

ISTRIA

THE HEART-SHAPED PENINSULA REACHING DEEP INTO THE CLEAR BLUE WATERS OF THE ADRIATIC SEA TO THE SUNNY AND WARM MEDITERRANEAN Come and travel through it without hesitation, and the holiday of your dreams will become reality. Multicultural and hospitable, this is an area where wide-ranging diversities have come together to form a happy union. Istria’s crystal clear sea, clean shores and ports, its lively fishing boats and teeming narrow stone streets exude the true charm of the Mediterranean. Small, picturesque medieval towns perched on the peaks of its hills emanate the peace and gentleness of landscapes that irresistibly evoke the most beautiful parts of Tuscany or Provence. Whereas the coastlines of Pula, Rovinj, Vrsar, Poreč, Novigrad or Umag bring to mind heritage and antiquity and conjure up images of Venice, in the central part of Istria the spirit of Central Europe is instantly discernible. In other words, Istria offers more than just the sea, sunbathed shores, romantic coves and tiny ports! She beckons you to follow the fairyland paths leading to the small medieval towns crowning her hilly landscape. Climb up to any one of them. Be it Motovun, Grožnjan, Završje, Oprtalj or, indeed, the smallest town in the world, Hum. A walk through their narrow, stone-paved streets will become a magical journey through a history that is quite unique. Follow that special path, from the massive town gate to a bench on the town loggia, and then on to the church on the main square and the bell tower, a view from which Istria will, for a brief moment, shine forth from a different panorama. Although they seem to be very similar, each of these tiny medieval towns is a quite individual entity. So, be curious! Peek into doorways, discover the coats of arms, enter churches and find rest in the cool and quietude of the chapels. Here, you will come to understand the popular legends about diligent fairies who spend the nights building and rebuilding the walls, and also about ‘štrigas’ - bad witches who are always stirring up trouble. If you should meet anybody in your wanderings, feel free to stop and ask them whatever you wish. The people here are kindly and hospitable, and they will gladly tell you the story of Istria, a land in which even the greatest diversities live in peace and harmony, taking pride in their openness. Istria truly is ‘terra magica’; blessed with unspoiled nature, the crown jewel of which are the Brijuni islands, one of the most beautiful archipelagos in the Mediterranean with rare plant and animal species. This is a land whose long and rich history can be read literally from dinosaur footprints. Fortified by the northerly bora and invigorated by the mistral, fragrance imbued with Spanish broom, sage and lavender, drowsy from stone pines, thyme and immortelle, with a climate that makes for a five month long swimming season, Istria is indeed the ideal touristdestination. Of course, don’t forget to taste Istria! From delicacies of the sea to delectable truffles, the liquid gold of the local Malvasia, the aromatic Muscat of Momjan, or the ruby-red Teran that once fortified Casanova himself, your palate will combine these divine pleasures into a fusion of unforgettable Istrian experiences. So, rather than dreaming of the holiday of your life - wake up in Istria! Step into this vibrant hub of civilisations whose cultural arboretum has been jealously nurtured since the times of the 94

100 MILES OF ISTRIA 2017

Histri, the Celts and the Romans, through the Slavonic peoples and the Venetians, all the way to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and you will soon learn why Istria is so special. To begin, remember the Legend of the Argonauts. In vain pursuit of Jason and the stolen Golden Fleece, having arrived to the shores of Istria, the people of Colchis decided not to return to their home. There is something in her magic, like in no other place in the Mediterranean. Here you will find a town which, just like Rome, lies on seven hills and boasts a famous amphitheatre. On one of those hills, a weary Hungarian king felt the desire to exchange his resplendent robes for the modest robe of a monk, and die in a state of sanctity, while the immortal Dante, inspired by the view from a panoramic viewpoint, wrote the verses of his masterpiece, The Divine Comedy. The name of this town is Pula, Istria’s largest urban centre. It is the beating heart of the peninsula, with 3000 years of history behind it and a unique place in the Mediterranean. Pula boasts a diverse, impressive cultural heritage. Just like the peninsula upon which it rose, it is not without reason that it carries a feminine name. Modest but fascinating, Pula and Istria have long been known as enchantresses with a hundred faces, faces that have been seducing visitors for thousands of years. Whoever strays once into their invisible web, and experiences but a morsel of the joy they can give, always wishes to return again, and again!


A IS A HIDDEN GARDEN OF BEAUTY WHICH OPENS THE DOOR

ISTRIAN CUISINE AND WINES In Mediterranean, but also wider European relations, Istria is branded as the area of wines, olives and truffles, superior gastronomy, developed wine culture, authentic model of agritourism and traditionally successful coastal tourism in towns such as Pula, Rovinj, Poreč, Umag, Novigrad and many smaller places. How did Istria transform into a region of very attractive living and a growing economy, recently becoming populated not only by people from other parts of Croatia, but a growing number of foreigners, too? It turned its least populated and somewhat forgotten, and green countryside of Istria, into its strongest and most go-ahead natural resource. The essence of the development philosophy of this region and Istria’s future is based on it. The initiators of the strategic development of Istria were the first to realise that the inner part of this peninsula represents the hidden treasure yet to be discovered. They figured out that the successful development of coastal tourism will largely depend on reviving the neglected parts of Central Istria. Many old olive groves and vineyards were restored. Large areas of deserted land were planted with young olives and vines, fruits and vegetables. The inhabitants recognised the value and potential of this extremely fertile red Istrian soil and a high quality base for development of contemporary agriculture was soon developed. Focusing mainly on olive production and wine growing, it led the revival of the gastronomic and oenological scene. Small family-run wine cellars and taverns revitalised traditional recipes, and the Motovun Forest with its Mirna River and black and white truffles became one of the most visited and famous forests in Europe. The elite gastronomic offer now includes seasonal specialities: meat of boškarin, indigenous Istrian cattle weighing up to one ton, and wild asparagus. Country farms and restaurants offer Istrian proscuitto of extraordinary quality, home- made sheep and goat cheese, home-grown eggs, homemade pasta, traditional pickled foods, honey, vegetables grown in village gardens, various venison dishes, pork cutlets (ombolo or zarebnjak) and sausages with pickled cabbage, žgvacet (stew or moussaka) with gnocchi, veal prepared under čripnja (steel or clay dish), Istrian red wine soup with olive oil, salt, pepper and toasted bread, crabs from the Pula local waters served with salad, sweet ravioli à la Labin, tea cakes (cukerančići), etc. Istrian estates (stancije) were reconstructed, preserving the authentic architectural characteristics of ancient building traditions and they now provide visitors with superior comfort while offering authentic food, faithfully reflecting the identity of this region and its rich gastronomic heritage. The gastronomy was developed on the foundations of centuriesold tradition, modernised with new recipes and imaginative combinations featuring both Mediterranean and Central European cuisines. Istrian olive oils win most prizes in all important world festivals and competitions, while Istrian wines receive high marks from world-renowned wine experts and critics in respected professional wine journals. 96

100 MILES OF ISTRIA 2017


Wine and olive trails give impressive insights into the regional wealth, while festivals (such as Vinistra in Poreč, Open Days for visitors all over Istria and Days of Olive Oils in Vodnjan) give a strong incentive for faster and more quality development of wine-growing, wine production and olive growing. Malvasia became a wine trade mark of Istria, recognised in a wider region. New generations of viticulturists and winegrowers systematically improve the quality offering of this important Istrian brand. Istrian gastronomy offers a wide palette of the most diverse delicacies; from fuži with truffles (home-made Istrian pasta), venison and boškarin with pljukanci (home-made Istrian type of gnocchi), asparagus fritaje (a type of omelette), pasta, proscuitto smoked and dried in the original Istrian manner, bacon and other meat products, to sea specialities; fish, crabs and shells from the Lim Channel. Extraordinary biodiversities, mountain ranges from Učka to the Mirna River valley and the coastal belt all packed into the relatively small Istrian territory. This is an inexhaustible source for the creation of an imaginative gastronomic and wine offering. The former flight of the population from the countryside turned into an emigration exodus, has now changed into a mass and ongoing return. Firstclass olive-growers, wine makers, winegrowers, oenologists and caterers, are becoming valued entrepreneurs. Small familyowned hotels win the highest awards in the hotel industry category on a regular basis. Refurbished estates are being equipped for the highest standard of tourism. The white truffle (Tuber magnatum), found in the Motovun Forest, entered the Guinness Book of World Records, as a rarity, being the largest, precious tuber ever found in the World (1.31 kg). Goat cheeses from the Kumparička estate stand shoulder to shoulder with world renowned cheese products. Oysters and mussels from the Lim Channel will impress discerning gourmets. If we combine the Istrian gastronomic and oenological features with the beauty of the almost untouched countryside of the peninsula, its coast and islands, and in particular, the Briuni National Park and Učka Park of Nature, it becomes obvious that Istria presents one of the most attractive European regions. It moves away from the idea of terra incognita, coming closer to being a land of truffles, wines, olives and helpful, warm hosts, who will proudly offer the wealth of the Istrian soil and traditional heritage to their guests. On the other hand, Istrian restaurants, most of which preserved the romantic atmosphere of the old taverns,

compete in the quality and diversity of their offer. Some of them match the high achievements of the European catering industry. The most popular of them are the Giannino, San Rocco, Monte, Milan, Blu, Pepenero, Morgan, Batelina and Vodnjanka.

adventure.

By many of its geographical features, Istria will remind you of Provence or Tuscany. Culture in the revived Istrian towns, such as Motovun, Grožnjan, Buzet, Grimalda and Svetvinčenat, contributed to the popularisation of Istria as an unmissable cultural destination. The shows at the Ulysses Theatre in Brijuni, film festivals in Pula and Motovun, summer concerts in Grožnjan and the Amphitheatre in Pula are internationally recognised cultural events, positioning Istria on the cultural map of Europe.

Wines

However, the majority of visitors are delighted with Istria because of its wine, olives and truffles – its brand-making features. The Istrian gastronomy, with its brave mix of the traditional and avant-garde, offers its guests memorable specialities, allied with wines of the Istrian climate, affirmed and recognised in the international wine arena. These are the reasons for touring Istria with plentiful gastronomic and oenological curiosity, armed with sufficient patience to discover new and so far unknown pleasures in the hidden corners of this beautiful, promised land, and to satisfy the highest hedonistic criteria.

Health Istria is a Croatian region, surrounded by the sea, thus its cuisine is mostly based on the fruits of the sea. Change of seasons and the Mediterranean climate, as well as the conditions at sea, dictate the type of seafood to be chosen at a given time. Plenty of fresh fish and famous shrimps are available for most of the year and they are a perfect choice for a healthy heart, particularly the Omega 3 fatty acids, obtained from seafood which protect the heart and vascular system. Zinc (Zn), the mineral found amply in seafood, is of vital importance for the immune system. The amount of zinc in the body is related to vitality and replacement of lost energy; revitalisation. Shells, limpets and fish are surely the primary choices in Istria, for they are full of minerals. Exotic taste and an extravagance of truffles are a temptation for all those ready for a gastronomic

A strong point in the gastronomy of Istria is made by olive oil, which presents a perfect choice for energy and good health.

Istria is the largest peninsula in Croatia and its most western winegrowing region. Its geographic position is excellent, and is almost fully surrounded by the sea. It has a mild Mediteranean climate, with significant continental influences. This area is also very interesting and diverse from the geopolitical view; it is situated within three states, between the east and the west, in touch with many different peoples and on a crossroads of different cultures. Its rich and turbulent history, Istria nowadays uses to its advantage – it is a multi-cultural environment, open and progressive in many segments of human life and work. All of that had its impact on the development of vineyards and wine-growing, the history of which dates far into ancient times. It is thought that the first vine was brought by the Greek colonists, several centuries before Christ. Istrian viticulture was developing through the centuries and its peak occurred at the end of the 19th century, together with other parts of Croatia, before the appearance of the vine-pest. Today, Istria is one of the most important Croatian winegrowing areas. Wine is not only an important agricultural product, but also an integral part of the tourist offer. As proof of this, everyone who comes to Istria by car can see; after passing the 5 km long tunnel through the Učka Mountain, one of the first signs: Istria – the land of good wine.

Wine-growing fields and production conditions Istrian vineyards are situated in three winegrowing areas – western, central and eastern Istria. The whole peninsula is characterised by vast differences in its landscape – its vineyards are situated at all altitudes, from sealevel to 400 m above the sea. Climate is also diverse. The average annual temperature in Poreč and Pula is high (13 – 14 °C), with a moderate amount of rainfall (of about 850 mm/year). Central Istria experiences a more significant influence from the continental climate and

of wine, from sparkling to soft, dessert wines. The quality of the wine strongly depends on the growing circumstances, and particularly the quality of the soil. The best varieties of malvasia come from high terrains and soft, flysch grounds. We find it in all quality categories – from table to supreme wines. Nonetheless, the vast majority of malvasia comes from dry wines from ordinary picking, with a discrete, pleasant type of aroma, which reminds us of the locust flower, and is of good constitution with a full, balanced taste. It represents the basis of production and is the base wine for almost all Istrian wine makers. Chardonnay, white and grey Pinot are worldknown varieties, with excellent results in Istria. The specific climate of Istria has a favourable impact on the characteristics of the wine, and they mature into wine of full and medium strength, but aromatic with a balanced taste. The same qualities can be noted with white sauvignon. This environment provides for its flavour to be fully expressed. In comparison to the colder parts of the continent, where sauvignon varieties are lighter, with an intensive flowery flavour, the wine here is fuller and the bouquet is more complex. The white Muscat wine holds a specific place within the assortment. It is usually found here under the name Muscat Momjanski (named after the area in which it is found, Momjanština). In particular, Momjan, a picturesque place in Western Istria, has a tradition of cultivating this particular variety, and is known for production of some of the best Croatian dessert wines. These are usually much flavoured, semisweet or sweet wines, produced from regular picking or some traditional procedures typical of the production of dessert wines. In this way, the grapes are usually left on the vine to become over ripe, possibly until the end of October or November, or are additionally dried after picking. Teran (or Terrano) is the leading red variety in

thus, the average annual temperature in Pazin is just above 11 °C, with a significantly higher amount of rainfall (>1000 mm/ year). But, besides these large differences in environmental conditions, the most significant and notable difference is in the soil particularly and obviously its colour. Istria is thus often divided into the Red (red soil, terra rossa), and White (flysch soil, terre biance). It is the diversity of the environmental conditions that leads to the high number of grape varieties being successfully grown in this area. Istria is a specific region where we find an equal distribution of continental and Mediterranean varieties. Many of them achieve supreme results and significantly contribute to the fullness of Istrian wine’s nose and taste.

Istrian varieties and their wine Until the middle of the last century, red varieties prevailed in Istria. Today, the leading variety in the assortment is the Istrian Malvasia, a white variety dominant in all winegrowing fields. It belongs to the large group of malmseys, with some fifteen varieties of different characteristics. They are found all over the Mediterranean, and their common name often relates them to Greece, i.e. its historic port of Monemvasia in the Peloponnesus. Still, all the research indicates that this particular malvasia is unique and it is most probably the indigenous Istrian variety. It has been grown in Istria for centuries, and its sudden rise happened after WW II, with the increase of interest in white wines. It is a polyvalent variety, used for production of all types 98

100 MILES OF ISTRIA 2017

Istria. It gives usually well coloured, aromatic wine, pleasant and fresh, with a tart taste. The best Teran wine is produced in central Istria, around Motovun. In good years, and with moderate vinification, these wines are among the best this variety can give. Refosk (refosco) is a type of variety close to Teran, and was therefore considered for that wine for a long time. Still, they differ. Refosk is less prominent, but gives wine of similar characteristics and is also considered a native variety and a trade mark of red Istrian wines. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot are worldknown varieties, and they are widespread in Istria where they achieve excellent results and are used on their own or as a cuvée. They are grown all over the peninsula, but the best vineyards are found in the western, warmer part, close to the sea. The largest plantations are around Poreč. Their wines are full, medium strong, well coloured and with a discrete, distinctive flavour. Red Pinot is less well represented, but it gives good wines. They are fuller and of better colour than those from inland. It gives the best results in the production of Istrian sparkling wines, together with Chardonnay and Istrian malmsey. Hrvatica (a woman of Croatia) is a less represented variety. It is considered an indigenous variety, gives a good crop and its wine is in the middle quality range. Borgonja is another variety considered as autochthonous, although, for a while, it was thought to be identical to the French Gamay. Still, genetic research has discarded this hypothesis, and has established that this variety is identical to Frankovka (a dark-skinned variety), i.e. the Blaufrankisch or Lemberger variety. It gives good, red wine, of moderate fullness and colour, very appropriate for everyday use with many Istrian traditional dishes. The Muscat Ruža of Poreč is a local synonym for a more famous Austrian Rosenmuskateller or the Italian Moscato Rosa, an old variety of rather particular features; it gives excellent, mostly dessert


wine, whose bouquet reminds us of roses. The wines are semisweet or sweet, of very intensive bouquet, moderately coloured and of full taste, balanced and with very long ending. Besides the varieties mentioned above, which form the majority in the vineyards of Istria, we can also mention draganela, brajdenica, opačevina, dolcin, duranija, surina and some other varieties, which are today almost forgotten. They are not used separately, but as part of a mixed, mostly old plantations. We consider them the native varieties and measures have been taken lately to revitalise them.

Principal producers According to many indicators, Istria is one of the leading Croatian wine-growing regions. The number of producers is on the rise, and the areas covered with grape-vines are expanding. Most of them are located in western Istria and the majority are small wine cellars, companies and family farms. During the 90s of the last century, a new Istrian wave started from here. A few young producers started production in a new, modern way and have quickly risen to the Croatian peak. They are successful on the world markets today and their products are often given excellent marks and receive awards. Among them, distinguished are the Matošević (with famous, recognised malvasia Alba and Alba barrique, Grimalda, excellent Cuvée Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Istrian malvasia) and Kozlović (with Santa Lucia, from the location of the same name, is one of the most sought after malvasias, and semi-sweet Momjanski Muscat in the category

of dessert wines), but also Coronica and Trapan, who have been attracting world attention lately with their malvasias. There are also the Pilato, Degrassi, Arman and a dozen other less known, but perceptive wine makers. The largest producers are the Agrolaguna and Istravino. They offer many varieties of wine of moderate price and good and excellent quality (particularly Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon of the Agrolaguna, and Teran Dajla of the Istravino). It is important to mention also the wine maker Roxanich and Franco Arman, whose wines have recently been positioned among the best Istrian teran wines. Some of the best Croatian sparkling wines are produced in Istria, under the name of Misal, where we find several sparkling wines produced in a traditional procedure of bottle fermentation. Besides the usual varieties of chardonnay and red pinot, produced in the traditional, champagne method, the native Istrian varieties are also being vinificated, making those wines rather specific and interesting. The Association of Vine and Wine Growers, Vinistra, is largely responsible for the development of vine-growing and wine making in Istria. They organise regular exhibitions of wine, Vinistra, (at the beginning of May) and the international competition, The World of Malvasia, which is a sort of a world championship of wine produced from different malvasias. They have initiated the programme Malvasia IQ, the system for awarding a specific marking IQ (Istrian Quality) to the best alvasias. In this way, they promote and raise the quality of the most important Istrian wine.
