The Vitovska grape variety grows exclusively in Friuli and practically only in the Karst area. The name probably comes from "vitez," a Slovenian word meaning "wine of the knights," or the name is thought to derive from the Slovenian town of Vitovlje. The grape variety has always been little considered, but since 1960 some growers have begun to recover it, and in 1996 it was legally recognized as a cultivar.

The name Teran probably comes from the German word "ter," meaning tar, because of the very dark color of this grape. It is characterized by a not very compact, medium-sized cluster with large berries and a very thick skin. Teran is typical of Friuli and grows mainly in the Trieste Karst area on red soils rich in stones and iron. It is thought that this grape was probably described by Pliny the Elder as "Pucinum."
