Skaramuča Dingač 2017
Skaramuča Dingač has unique spicy aromas of bay leaf and clove and is light ruby red in color. The taste sensation of the wine is balanced and complex; after the first sip, you will taste the delightful fruity notes of currants, plums, and ripe cherries. The wine is balanced with acidity and soft tannins. On the finish, you can taste the flavors of vanilla, wood, and a hint of licorice. The wine is aged for 12 months in oak barrels. Vina Skaramuča can be paired with a delicious dish, and we recommend choosing a piece of lamb with rosemary or grilled red meat. For a unique tasting experience, you can also add aged, hard cheeses.
The Dingač wine region is the first protected region in Croatia since 1961. Over time, several other protected regions have been established where the Plavac Mali grape variety grows. The area where the grapes grow is sun-drenched and has poor rocky soil. As a result, the vines must work very hard to produce even a small amount of juice. The vines yield only up to one kilogram of grapes per plant. Ultimately, only one bottle of wine is made from one vine. The harvesting is done manually, not mechanically, because the vines grow on steep slopes, and the conditions in the vineyards are not ideal.
