Croatia
Croatia is a land with an ancient winemaking tradition, where history, biodiversity, and extreme territories intertwine to create authentic and surprising wines. With over 130 indigenous varieties, this country offers one of Europe's richest and most diverse enological landscapes. From the hills of the continental interior to the rocky terraces of the Adriatic coast, each area expresses a unique style, deeply linked to its microclimate and geography.
In the Istrian region, fresh and fragrant white wines like Malvasia dominate, while in Slavonia, Graševina, versatile and mineral, stands out. But it is along the Dalmatian coast that viticulture perhaps reaches its peak expressiveness, with intense and saline reds from Plavac Mali and Babić, and Mediterranean whites like Pošip, Grk, and Maraština.
Croatian wines are often produced in small quantities by independent winemakers who work artisanally, favoring traditional methods, spontaneous fermentations, and minimal use of sulfites. The result is authentic, often unfiltered wines that powerfully convey the character of their origin. Still little known outside national borders, they represent today one of the most fascinating discoveries for those seeking originality and identity in a glass.
