The wine region of Dalmatian Coast
Croatia's Adriatic coast, native identity grapes in full revival. Signature Plavac Mali: powerful, sun-soaked reds with notes of candied blackberry, black plum, dried fig, garrigue, tobacco and spices, firm tannins and a warm palate — at its peak in Dingač and Postup (Pelješac). Also dense Babić. Ample, aromatic Pošip whites (pear, honey, fennel), lively Maraština, mineral Debit.
The word of the wine: Table wine
Everything that is not VQPRD (European designation for all appellation wines: quality wine produced in a specific region). In principle, the bottom of the ladder. But, as in Italy a decade ago (Vino da Tavola), this category is also a refuge for wines that are out of the ordinary, whose producers refuse to accept certain grape variety or vinification dictates.
