Discover the grape variety: Prc
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden colour, a supple palate and preserved acidity showing understated aromas of citrus, white flowers and herbaceous Dalmatian notes. An airy, rustic profile for early drinking. Preserved for its heritage value, it reflects the rich varietal diversity of the Croatian coast among the studied Dalmatian autochthonous varieties.

The word of the wine: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
