Structured and intensely coloured reds with a deep ruby colour, firm tannins and dense palate, with signature aromas of black fruit (blackberry, blackcurrant), Mediterranean herbs, spices and saline marine notes. A confidential, sun-drenched Dalmatian profile. Grown almost exclusively on the island of Šolta, it embodies the ancient identity of Dalmatia. A very rare indigenous Croatian black variety, parent of Plavac Mali (a cross with Crljenak Kaštelanski = Zinfandel/Primitivo).
