Discover the grape variety: Dobricic
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).

Full-bodied, tannic wines with dark fruits and spices, historic family vineyards at the foot of the Boston Mountains, continental climate for rustic varieties.
The wine region of Arkansas
Oldest wine state in the American South, cradle of the state's first AVA (Altus, 1984) on the Ozark foothills with a Swiss-German heritage (Wiederkehr, Post). Dominant French hybrids: Chambourcin as ruby red king with cherry, blackberry, pepper and a smoky touch, supple tannins; Cynthiana/Norton full-bodied with wild berries and spice; Vidal Blanc and Seyval Blanc taut with citrus. Native Muscadine fruity and sweet. Cabernet and Chardonnay as vinifera.
The word of the wine: Ventilate
Expose the wine to the air before serving, to allow it to open up more, to develop its aromas and to round out its tannins.
