Powerful and alcoholic reds with an inky colour, firm tannins and a dense palate, on intense aromas of blackberry, candied plum, fig, Mediterranean garrigue (bay, rosemary), spices and balsamic notes. Excellent ageing potential. Star of the Dalmatian appellations Dingač and Postup on the vertiginous slopes of the Pelješac peninsula, also in Hvar and Brač. Native Croatian variety, a natural offspring of Crljenak Kaštelanski (ancestor of Zinfandel) × Dobričić.
